Re: Natural Childbirth

Liz, I loved reading your story!! I got a true sense of the birthing experience from reading it.

Claud-I guess the terminology of 'natural childbirth' is one that is used in many books and even on the internet to imply birthing using non-invasive pain mgmt and a process that is not seen as a medical procedure. So I was just going along with that use of the term. You're right though, no one has a right to tell you that birthing with medical assistance is 'unnatural', and I agree with you. Sorry if you were offended. I guess we need a new term for it.
