And if it's going to either injure/kill my baby or injure/kill me, I'm going to have to do the other way. It's sad but true.Ziona Rae Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817735180466545392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574867308918454302.post-22329612078852577812009-10-14T13:23:56.418-05:002009-10-14T13:23:56.418-05:00LOVE #5.

Did you ever have Mrs. Winfrey in high school?! :] That was her motto!<br /><br />yes, something tells me that Adam didn't have an epidural in his pocket. If he had a pocket. which, he probably didn't. since he was nekkie.<br /><br />Ricki shed all her weight off after giving birth naturally!! it gave her the self-confidence and the boost to do it!! :D she had been abused as a child, and the weight piled on due to all the stuff that came along with it. but, anyway, GO RICKI!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13558498724996805304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574867308918454302.post-57989063139797666132009-10-14T13:16:09.298-05:002009-10-14T13:16:09.298-05:001) Daaaaaang, Ricki Lake is skinny.
2) I agree 7 ...1) Daaaaaang, Ricki Lake is skinny. <br />2) I agree 7 million percent. I hate it when people try and go all expert when something like this is brought up. It's your body, do what you want. <br />3) I'm doing natural too. You already know that, but yea. <br />4) I'm gonna guess that Eve went naturally (hehe) without medicine or anything. Yes, like you said, we are created for this!! :) <br />5) I am woman.

I've read this book as well. There's a lot of gross generalizations in this book. My birthing stories were nothing like Rikki Lake were generalizing. I pushed for over 2 hours- and I was NEVER pushed the epidural. I had to ask for it (YES, I asked for it! You try pushing out a 14 inch head that's transverse and grinding on your pelvic bone so hard he came out with contusions). My goal? A healthy baby- that's OUT. My hospital is very homeopathic, but also does do c-sections when medically necessary. They do not induce until it is bad for the baby to stay inside, etc. Yes, I'm lucky...but even with all my information, everyone is different. Every birth is different. It's good to be informed- but stay open to options as God can cause things to change in a heartbeat.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05472478935210732116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574867308918454302.post-11894545220135759462009-10-14T10:10:00.106-05:002009-10-14T10:10:00.106-05:00Totally agree with you too :) You made me want to ...Totally agree with you too :) You made me want to read that book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574867308918454302.post-77573101416987396772009-10-14T08:37:57.603-05:002009-10-14T08:37:57.603-05:00PS...People think "once a csection, always a ...PS...People think "once a csection, always a csection" and that is so NOT true. THere is something called a VBAC (vaginal birth after ceserean) and in a few year I will be going for an all natural VBA2C!!! Can you tell this is one of my favorite subjects!!! Oh and also when you and hubby start TTC (trying to conceive) you should head on over to http://www.babycenter.com, they have boards just for people TTC and natural childbirth supporteers, and so forth...very helpful!krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230828577362197532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574867308918454302.post-71328382739703554562009-10-14T08:24:54.856-05:002009-10-14T08:24:54.856-05:00I TOTALLY agree with you Shannon!

Also after having 2 sections I am still planning on having completely natural child birth with my next child! No epi, no nothing!!!

I know a lady that scheduled BOTH of her children to be C-Section babies simply for the quickness and convenience. Crazy, right?! I think it's nuts, I'm sure you would think it's nuts, but for some reason, that worked for her. However, I'm not sure if she did her research before making that decision, and she should have! Stay true to what you feel is best for your baby (when the time comes!), Shannie, and don't worry about all those doctors and people that will throw those rocks at you! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392670505606813998noreply@blogger.com
