So you want a natural birth...
Congratulations! Having a natural birth is one of life's peak experiences, and not to be missed for casual reasons. This is, however, a minority point of view in our American culture, which values drugs of all types, and birth on a schedule. Letting nature take its course, both about when labor begins and ends, and everything in between, is almost always the best and safest option, for both you and your baby. I have participated in over 600 natural births, as mother, birth assistant or doula and, since 1995, as a certified nurse-midwife. I hope to participate in another 600 before I retire!!
