For me, a natural birth as such is not important - I will not be having one, as I will be receiving the injection of synto for 3rd stage, and I will more than likely use the gas as a coping aid during labour. What is important to me is a spontaneous start to labour, and no augmentation at all. I feel like this is definitely achieveable (although right now I am wondering if this baby will ever come out!), and I feel good about it.
