Birth plans & drug-free birth - how much do you want it?

[azima]

I know how much I want it that nothing will change my mind. If there's a problem, cut it out, otherwise leave me the hell alone. I don't pretend I can prepare for the pain, but I know what inteferring will do to me and my baby and I simply won't do it. I know that's worth all the pain I'll go through.

Good one, Azima! Now you just need to work on how to conceptualise the 'pain' so that you can decrease your perception of it For me, the most 'painful' part of the experience were the contractions, but even they ended up being bearable because of the preparation I did.

Hmm... thanks. That's given me food for thought.
