I agree whole-heartedly, a healthy baby is top priority! I will tell you from a medical professional standpoint - I am a physical therapist with emphasis in spine and women's health - that there are so very many things that can go wrong with a birth PERIOD! I also am very "alternative" in my approach to cwendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762181872066673310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448877090161630665.post-84964729681735291742009-11-10T00:52:33.269-06:002009-11-10T00:52:33.269-06:00Awesome fantastic wonderful post!
Yes, all of us ...Awesome fantastic wonderful post!<br /><br />Yes, all of us as moms need to focus on the joy of seeing your baby for the first time - not how it got to that point! Sure I still wish I could have a vaginal birth but that does not make me any less "empowered" and I can still do anything, even though I couldn't have a vaginal birth!<br />Thank you for this post Cheri! You are amazing!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483641233177919179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448877090161630665.post-32820136771764392882009-11-08T07:18:02.913-06:002009-11-08T07:18:02.913-06:00Let me provide the flip-side...I had a medicated b...Let me provide the flip-side...I had a medicated birth first, and a Hypnobabies drug-free, natural birth second. It was my drug-free birth in which I felt less pain, was peaceful, able to sing, laugh, talk normally, relax, and experience God's amazing creative design in childbirth. I am not more of a superwoman than a non-natural birthing Mom, but I am passionate about natural childbirth. felicitouschickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173420031699519569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448877090161630665.post-26550685024701408862009-11-07T20:18:37.958-06:002009-11-07T20:18:37.958-06:00preach on!

I can say with all honesty that to me my second birth was so much more relaxed as I had an epi with that one, I had a spinal with my first but it was botched! It was so nice with my son to be relaxed during the majority of his birth and to only experience a small amount of pain compared to my first. We do not need to be super woman. having pain meds does not make us an less of a woman Lisa P@www.isitmondayalready.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15303258047969943342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448877090161630665.post-65312278587128042422009-11-07T17:19:14.993-06:002009-11-07T17:19:14.993-06:00AMEN, SISTER.
