@snowtrekker I’m proud of you. Labor sucks. I’m a former labor and delivery nurse and I was beyond thrilled when my son was breech and I could ask for a C-section All the power to the natural mamas but I do feel that we put too much emphasis on natural labor when modern medicine has literally decreased our chances of us or our babies dying during child birth. I’ve seen moms refuse an epidural until their body has literally given up and their babies have nothing left to give and then they need a Stat C-section. The epidural allows your body to relax, your baby to ALSO get a break at times and it can help your cervix dilate. I’m proud of you for speaking out and I’m also proud of you for initially trying for unmedicated birth. Things happen fast and you never know how your birth story is going to turn out. Congrats, mom!
