I'm not being rude, but something I want to clarify which I hear alot. A natural birth is one without interventions - drugs - anything that interferes with the process of it happening on it's own. This doesn't mean the midwife coming in with a doppler and listening to your heartbeat, but moreso medical inductions, instrumental birth, pain relief, artificially rupturing your membranes, third stage injection etc. If you have those things but don't have a caesarean, then it's called a vaginal birth.

Just mentioning it as it can be very confusing for others, and I also think that because of the high rates of intervention our country has, it's sad to see the word natural birth become related to something which is highly intervened. So just trying to clarify, not being rude or saying one thing is better than the other - its just what it means.
