You can do it!

When I was preg with DD#1 an African woman had her baby in a tree by herself due to flooding. And I thought if she can do it by herself in a tree I can do it in a hospital with lots of support from everyone. I now have had 2 natural deliveries. With the first one I tried the gas once but really didn't like it. There was a point in both where I was thinking "Where is that sweet nurse who was offering me some drugs 'cause I changed my mind." But as it was transition they wouldn't give them to me anyway 'cause they knew it would only be a few minutes till I was pushing.

Your body has been crafted to do exactly what needs to happen to birth your baby. If you need help it will be there but many many people do this with no meds. In Canada it seems that a fair number manage to be like me and can do it and you can too!
