  Awesome!

  Sometimes I think people use the word "natural" because they're afraid to use the word "vagina." LOL

  We can just hope that it continues to become mainstream.

  ITA with this.  My MIL was totally supportive of my VBAC but she hated talking about it with others there because of the whole "vagina" issue;-)

  Haha I agree- can you imagine the outcry if people had dared publish the v word, the only thing worse than that would be printing a pic of a woman breastfeeding!

  That is awesome for Kate, though.

  I heard somewhere that Pink ended up having a c-section with her new baby but will definitely "go natural" next time.

  Using the term "natural" for vaginal is one of my biggest pet peeves.  That's awesome that Kate had a VBAC though!

  I was always under the impression that natural birth meant meds free, not vaginally?

  That is what it "technically" means...but many people refer to having a baby "naturally"=vaginal delivery. I'd never thought about it from iris' PoV, but now I understand.

  High-risk L&D nurse...If in doubt, go to triage!

  This comes up on the NB board all the time.  It means different things to different people and there's no "right" definition.  I don't care for the term because I don't like the implication that other births are unnatural or inferior.

  Ditto. I hate the term "natural birth" across the board.
