I say normal is anything that gets the baby out safe and sound and the mum isn't traumatised by the experience.
I personally think it's unhelpful to constantly talk down about any birth experience that doesn't occur in the comfort of your own home. For the millions of women who choose a hospital birth, it's a perfectly acceptable and desired birthing experience. Why judge other women's choices? This I can assure you, there are equally millions of women who would love to have the luxury of access to medical assistance for birthing that we do, it's nothing to be scoffed at.
Birth where and how it works for you to have peace of mind and a successful outcome. That's only normal.
