*MY* idea of a normal, natural birth is spontaneous labour, zero interventions during the labour (no drugs, no strapped on monitors, no internals), no forceps or assisted delivery, no episiotomy, delayed cord clamping and physiological third stage. That's *MY* standard and I get everyone has a different idea on what they consider normal or natural. By my views, I did not have a natural birth; I had a penthrox stick in the ambulance, one internal upon arrival at the hospital and dd's cord was clamped soon after her birth due to mec in her lungs, all with my permission/at my request.
