My MIL just texted me. . .

She asked "do u plan to deliver naturally?" - and yes, that was her exact lack of capitalization and the "u". This is also the woman who texts me at 5:30am to "remind" me that my nephew's birthday is next week. 

What I wanted to say "Is there an unnatural way to deliver?"

What I said for the benefit of DH - "I'm not committed to any specific birth plan other than one that results in the safe delivery of a healthy baby."

Why does anyone thinks it's ok, or really even care, how I hope/plan on bringing my baby into this world? 

I'm prepared for the next text from MIL to be a question about the state of my cervix - which at that point, I will just ignore.

Hahaha...that is totally what I would have done.  You sent a text?  Huh, that's odd.  I didn't see it.  Hope my phone isn't starting to act up.  Interesting...

I don't even know what "natural" is supposed to mean.  Without drugs?  Or vaginal?
