I want to do natural birth as well can anyone who has been through natural birth tell me what to expect??? I want the real truth not the sugar coated explanation
Everyone should watch this documentary that ricki lake and her friend made its called "the business of being born". Very enlightening about hospital births vs home/birthing center births. Can be found on netflix. I wanted to have a home birth but bd wasn't comfortable with it so I compromised to a birthing center. I hope I can actually do it.
I did not tear. My doc applied skilled counter pressure on my perinium, and we practiced perineal massage for about 4 wks before birth. Had a small internal lesion that required 2 stitches so she froze me afterwards to take care of that. Doc attributed it to me listening when she said don't push, little push etc. She said If I had had epidural, hadn't done massage or kegels, I wouldn't have had that control.
