It’s been about a year since I connected with Amanda from Airman to Mom.
I was so excited last spring when I learned that we were pregnant at the same time and due shortly after me. We both have a lot of interest in natural parenting styles including cloth diapers and giving birth with a midwife. So when she asked me to be a part of a series on natural birth I didn’t even have to think about it. Here is the opening to my feature titled “Why I Would Choose Pain for Childbirth”
It happened again . I was at the Doctor’s office for a prenatal visit and a conversation started between myself and another pregnant woman nearby. The topic came up about where I was giving birth and she quickly exclaimed how she could never give birth without the drugs and thinks it’s a bit crazy. Her final statement was “The end result is the same so why suffer?”I think this is a pretty common philosophy among women and my canned response is always “Well, it’s definitely something you have to be passionate about”…
Check out Airman to Mom read the rest.
Natalie just read the whole article and absolutely loved it! It was so relatable and respectful to all ways of giving birth!
I hate the silly arguments over birth styles, it is a completely personal and unique experience evey single time. I hope that every mothers birth plan (or lack of in my case, I was winging it! :)) goes just as they planned or close to, and if not as long as mommy and baby are safe and healthy it’s a blessed moment.
