She has spent lots of time in Nicaragua, where the women do not typically have medical interventions that US women encounter. It's very interesting to hear all of the natural birth stories. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I did not have the drug-free birth I had wanted. However, I am proud of myself for laboring without drugs for about 8 hours, little did I know I still had 11 more hours to go! My doula, nurse and hubby were my rocks. That support system is super important! <br /><br />Great post, Jess!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006804464927317185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346569055589678913.post-65748367427327999242011-03-08T23:57:45.022-05:002011-03-08T23:57:45.022-05:00Lovely post.

I have a lot of regrets about my birth experience with Mad....although after all this time I've tried to let my sadness about it go....<br /><br />A part of me is scared to do it again and try to do it naturally (I watched my sister deliver two babies with no IV no meds in a tub, one at home and one in a birth center so I KNOW it can be beautiful) but I know if/when the time comes I want to prepare myself for just that. Our bodies WERE made for this. It's a beautiful thing.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430304557211862373noreply@blogger.com
