Unassisted Birth

No, I havn't.... but really wanted to..... I 100% believe that birthing is natural and when allowed to run it's coarse is a whole lot better for mommy and baby..... I talked to my SO about having our daughter unassisted...and he was nervous.... but knew it was my body and if I was okay then he'd be okay.... he wanted my dad present cause he'd been around 20 births, some with major complications.  While we were in the midsts of planning it, my wonderful (rolls eyes) mother in law stepped in and told him all kinds of horror stories and how we could get the baby taken away ( i knew we couldn't.... my dad is an attorney) so he backed out..... but next time I'd love to at least have a home birth...... I ended up having my daughter in a hosptal with a lot of emotional and phsical problems which has really hurt my relationship..... hopefully next time will go better??? But anyway... I'm soooo happy you were able to enjoy that aspect of birth... not many western women get to and it is truely a blessing!!!

My mom did because the midwife didn't get there in time. She was in active labor for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I would like to try an at home birth. My 1st and only son as of now we had at St. John's but I had natural no drugs and he came out so alert ift was wonderful and I loved having him with no drug just feeling all the pain and emotional and being able to remember all that forever is great!!

Hi, I just joined this group. I had a UC. You can read my birth story on my journals, if you haven't  already, but I'm pretty sure you have. ;)

Yep. I didn't even get to catch, he came out so fast!
