I love your choice to go Natural! YOU ...Right on! I love your choice to go Natural! YOU CAN DO IT!<br /><br />I read the Book "Birthing From Within" by Pam England and Rob Horowitz and "Guide to Childbirth" by awesome midwife Ina May Gaskin<br />... which were both really great!<br /><br />They are very artistic books that call for painting and drawing and poetry exercises. There are classes that go along, too but we didnt take them for finincial reasons.<br /><br />The most important thing I got out of the books was the exercise to accept and prepare for everything to go NOT as planned. That really helped me when a lot of things we planned didn't happen the way we wanted. <br /><br />Keep on rockin in the real world ;)CASPERNBETHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650987648910298662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17932973.post-86185321475718461102011-01-21T23:44:39.803-07:002011-01-21T23:44:39.803-07:00I don't have a midwife but I totally agree wit...I don't have a midwife but I totally agree with you about doing natural. That's the way I'm planning on doing it too, unless there are any complications. In most countries outside the US they don't even know what an epidural is and everyone gives birth without any medication...my mom also did it and just like you said then so can we. God made us able to tolerate that pain...although I've heard it's bad! lol I pray for you everyday (and my mom does too, she has you in her pregnancy list ;) and that the pregnancy continues to go well. We are really excited for you guys! Congrats once again... can't wait to start seeing that belly grow weekly!Eli+1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17932973.post-72924129288398307952011-01-21T07:42:09.093-07:002011-01-21T07:42:09.093-07:00I'm excited that you're going the midwife ...I'm excited that you're going the midwife route.
