When my daughter was born two years ago in Texas I had not prepared for the birth. I had a hospital birth with an OB, and didn’t research any other options. <\/span><\/p>\n

I did the hospital childbirth course, which mainly focused on the interventions that could occur and not how to cope with the discomforts. But I believed in my bodies ability to give birth and thought I would cope fine. <\/span><\/p>\n

While labor went fast and uncomplicated, the hospital interventions made the process more difficult. I was made to lay on my back with legs in stirrups and given local anesthetic resulting in and episiotomy after 3 pushes. It left me feeling tramautized and abused.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a truly amazing experience!<\/span><\/p>\n
