Another example of "compassionate use" is a good friend of mine, 40 hours into a labor where cervical dilation was being hampered by scarring from previous cryosurgery, was so deliriously exhausted that she needed to be medicated in order to rest to be able to continue to progress. She delivered successfully after finally getting some rest.
