natural childbirth?

[Adorabella87]

I'm 25 weeks it's my first baby I want to have a natural childbirth no pain killers nothing I would like to know every ones thoughts on it.

Yeah I wanted a home birth. I wanted to have my baby and go straight to my bed where I belong but my insurance won't cover it :/. I have some info on birthing positions in my journals and I have a link to a birth plan template too.

I need to look more into that I guess but I think it's the best way to go I'm just sick of hearing I can't do it woman have been doing it since the beginning of time with no meds or hospitals so I think I can handle it

[ericatoday]

Yeah everyone thinks I'm crazy for wanting it. But drugs ruined my first birth and it was awful. I'll also be squatting or on all fours and I'll be bringing my birthing ball to the hospital. And I found switching to a midwife from my doctor has made my wants more heard.

Yes I been doing that and my mom had 3 kids all natural that's how I wanna do it

[ericatoday]

I say yes go for it. Just because you can have pain meds doesn't mean you should. I'll be going natural and I can't wait. Just make sure to look up lots of ways to be more comfy and make a birthplan its really important especially for natural. And also make sure you look up other birthing positions.
