dont you think if you were taught how to give birth and had labor rehearsals that it wouldn't be as painful? you did say that you never took a birth class. I took bradleybirth com and i REAL enjoyed my birth, and its the most informative class out there on childbirth with great rehearsal that get you ready for ANYTHING that can happen. Loved it!

@ely1m Well not entirely true...I did take a birthing class years back - as the support. Since, I've read tons of books, watched countless videos, etc....given birth myself x5 now. I disagree rehearsal can get you ready for ANYTHING. On my last birth July 07 - my baby was born w fluid backed into his bladder and kidneys so his ab was swollen to much larger than his head....he became lodged at his torso during birth. There was NO fluid which even intensified pain further. We just didn't know.

@ely1m What class prepares you to give a dry birth- absent normals? Such as amniotic fluid to cushion normal labor pain....or teaches you to give birth to an abdomen which is swollen to abnormal proportion and is even larger than the baby's head? The head and shoulders (the "hardest part" to push out) is done....but then stuck. There was unknowns that no class could've prepared me for last round. I enjoy motherhood and my boy, and it was worth any pain felt -but birth wasn't enjoyable 4 me.

Thank you =) I am about to experience Childbirth for the first time in Early June. Your video gave me a good insight of my options - I plan on giving birth as Naturally as I possibly can . I like to think I have a good High Pain Tolerence but Chilbirth is obviously one I am not familiar with - I suppose I am just gonna have to tell myself what you did yourself :" Our body is made to handle this"....Thanks again. =)

@OneSunnyDayinMarch2 Well I wish you the best - I am sure you'll do great. Let me know how it goes for you!

@jjandjake - UPDATE: Well, here I am holding my Baby in my arms...She was born on the 26th after a Patocin Induction (I had lost my mucus plug 3 days prior and had small losses of amiotic fluid since) The delivery was 'Au Naturel" . although very (...very) painful, I am glad i did it without pain medication ... My girl latched on immediately and has been doing great ever since =) Nature does great things!! Thanks for the well wishes =)

@OneSunnyDayinMarch2 Congratulations!! Glad to hear everything went great and your little one is doing so well! Thanks for the update!

@jjandjake then again my mum was the opposite. she found that she pushed really hard because it wasn't painful, & the doctors had to keep telling her to slow down or she'd hurt herself. you're right, it really does depend.

Thank you for this. I am planning a natural birth. I am trying to find as much information as possible.

lol you posted this video on the same day i was having my daughter Leah.

[darkgreendulciloquy]

I found this video very informative. It's giving me a lot to think over now that I'm making my birth plan. Baby is due in January. Thank you for posting!

Your birthing experiances are truely above average, but the bradley method of natural childbirth has a specific chapter on everything that can go wrong, thats what i was saying that it is the only birth class that is so informative even "Professional Birthers" are amazed at the info. that being said, yes your special births would be painful to experiance. but its not the norm,I have no doubt that you are a wonderful mother. You have given them the best birth, sorry if my last post offended you.
