I do feel like I missed out on something. Some people call me crazy because it HURTS! My response? I still HURT! For weeks afterwards. And it was so... unnatural. But in the end, he's here and is the light of my life. That's all that really matters. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325046211742530012.post-14832547843772429202015-02-22T03:48:08.048-07:002015-02-22T03:48:08.048-07:00If you're offended by a mom giving her own per...If you're offended by a mom giving her own personal birthing account, and using a term that has been around for decades (since modern medicinal intervention) then you really need to grow some thicker skin. Or maybe you are just misusing the word "offended". Hopefully.

I plan to do the same this time. I did not know of anyone who had a natural birth either. About a month or so before I gave birth a movie called "The Business of Giving Birth" was on Netflix. The movie shows several women giving birth naturally and some giving birth in their own homes. I will say I feel the movie bashes doctor's, so you will have to take the bad with the good.Fluffy and Fithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563874032350276006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325046211742530012.post-85043969737792852182014-10-24T14:42:00.070-06:002014-10-24T14:42:00.070-06:00I read your article carefully and I have to say I ...I read your article carefully and I have to say I feel offended by it. I wanted to try to have a 'natural' birth but it ended with a c section. My doctor broke my water by mistake after I passed my due date by a week. After 12h I wasnt progressing so they gave Pitocin and it was horribly painful. After a few hours of the worst pain I asked for an epidural. After another 12h it was time to push, I tried but couldnt understand what the doctor wanted me to do. It was like my body didnt know what to do. Then the baby was in distress and we decided to go with a c section. So I had all worse of both: a loooong labour and a recovery of a c section. 'natural' childbirth is an insult for all the moms who had c sections because it make them feel like their births wasnt natural. I still birthed my baby and was in pain for weeks after the c section. Next time I have a baby I wont try to be courageous and have a 'natural' birth...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325046211742530012.post-29999224790652627192014-06-29T12:42:00.347-06:002014-06-29T12:42:00.347-06:00I was hoping you could share with me the pushing p...I was hoping you could share with me the pushing portion of your story?

It hurt but I walked around my house from start to finish. When I would have a contraction I would call my husband and he never knew what room I was going to be in haha. I also had a 6 hour labor. I wanted to wait to get in to the water birthing pool until I felt like I couldnt handle the pain anymore. When I decided to get in the pool was because I felt my body start to push. I pushed for 20 min and my little girl was born. To me those few days after the birth that I was stiff and hurt to move. I am now preggers with my 2nd due this June and am excited to be doing a home water birth again.
