Wow.

Tell a few folks that you wanna go all natural with your birth and they look at you like you've turned into Lucy Ricardo. 

I never realized how many women preferred to go right for the drugs without giving natural child birth a go. For centuries, women have been OWNING IT. Pushing that baby through the canal, moving when the baby moves and doing what nature wanted us to do. Why is it so odd to attempt to give birth to my little one this way?

My older sister has two amazing little kids. If I could eat them up, I would. I digress...

With her first, she had an epidural. I saw my sis post delivery and she was a mess. Stiff, sore, the works. When my sister gave birth to my niece, she did so the natural way. Yep, it hurt. Alot. Yep, she was in pain. Alot. But when little V was born, my sister said she began to breast feed, bounced back in the moment, etc.

This is what I want for my birthing experience. However, if the baby is in danger and there needs to be drug intervention to take care of business, I'm fine with that, too. Between my midwife and the doctor that will be onsite, I'm confident that I'll have the counsel I need to get thru it.

If you gave birth naturally, did you regret it?
