Feeling it all was pretty hellacious but I did it. I know it would have been even better if I had been mentally prepared for it all. You can do it!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152295818242120418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576985488154497720.post-63797499030488463912010-01-13T18:37:09.379-08:002010-01-13T18:37:09.379-08:00I've been wanting to see that movie, so thanks...I've been wanting to see that movie, so thanks for the rec!<br /><br />I am really excited for you and proud of your decision to try to "go natural." That was my plan, too, but unfortunately I ended up with pitocin and an epidural a few hours later. Pitocin is NOT natural, and at that point I decided to get the drugs to help me work through the contractions. I did have a perfect epidural experience, though, and I am very up in the air about what I want to do with this next baby. I'm going to get that book from the library next week! I totally think that our bodies are made for giving birth, and it most cases it's totally possible to have a baby drug free. I really, really hope it works for you! I'll be cheering you on from afar.<br /><br />Have you thought about getting a doula...or if at least a friend who has had natural childbirth help you out? That's one thing I'm considering. Two friends of mine who have had great natural experiences have had doulas. Just curious what you thought about it?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685933533367928951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576985488154497720.post-30508583321912520702010-01-13T18:37:07.345-08:002010-01-13T18:37:07.345-08:00Mary, I think you have a great attitude about it. ...Mary, I think you have a great attitude about it. You go in knowing what choices you have and what you want to happen...but at the same time you prepare yourself for other possibilities whether it be an epidural, c-section, etc. The important thing I think is to not set yourself up for failure. If you go in with an "all or nothing attitude" that's not good....I hope you are able to have YOUR delivery!!! Power to you Woman!!!Andrew and Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660784489151417365noreply@blogger.com
