i planned on an all natural birth but had to be induced due to low fluid levels.
to those of you who are planning on a NB but are second guessing themselves... YOU CAN DO IT! I was so set on avoiding an epi/interventions but towards the end I was second guessing myself. I didn't buy/read any special books or go to any form of NB classes (or any birth classes FWIW). I did however, read a lot of birth stories on TB and on birthwithoutfearblog.com, educate myself on my body and how it works and how labor works, and practiced breathing techniques (youtube videos helped here).
Labor wasn't easy, don't get me wrong, but it was NOTHING like the horror stories everyone shared with me.
Here's my story and my beautiful prize at one week old
Re: mostly natural birth.
