  One of the things I hated about being pregnant was that every single person would ask me if I planned on getting an epidural and I just lied to everyone and said yes. Only my H and I knew about our planned home birth. Luckily he was very supportive and

  having a natural birth is all about mindset and surrounding yourself with supportive people.  There are several books in the FAQ that are great resources.  You can do it!
