natural birth/pregnancy

[Stefanie83]

I hope no one finds this rude or innappropriate to post here. 

i am promoting my group i just started and i don't really know the etiquette on promoting groups :)

http://www.cafemom.com/group/natural_summer_2010

i made this group for moms who are intersted in natural pregnancy and birth and are due anytime in the summer of 2010.  if you are interested, please join.  :)   so if you are interested in non-medical forms of pain relief for example, come on over.

Well I would love to, but I have no hope of anything even close to a natural pregnancy.  I am actually quite the non medicating and organic mom, but when pregnant I have to take about16 pills a day.  :(  Good luck to you in your group and with your natural pregnancy though!  I think it is great to do everything you can!

Hmmm....thanks, but no thanks, lol. I LOVED my non natural, pain free, epidural labor :) And I'm planning to do much the same this time. Good luck to you though!!

what exactly is a natural pregnancy? I know what natural birth is.

 Well, I am the group owner, and I say it's perfectly fine to post here!

I cannot have a ntural birth. I have high risk deliveries (my blood doesn't clot) so they induce me so that they can make sure all of the blood products and such are available. It really is a regret of mine. I would LOVE to have a natural birth. It's just not a reality

good question  ;)  i'm far from an expert, but i guess i just meant going through the 9 mos as natural-minded as possible, in terms of health, nutrition, and not seeing pregnancy as normal and not an illness... and that i am interested not just in a birth free of potentially dangerous interventions, but also a pregnancy free of potentially dangerous interventions. i thought of calling it crunchy but i don't really consider myself to be crunchy so...  i hope that made some sense.

and thanks for letting me post here medicmommy  :)
