Hi Ladies,

After deciding I would like (and am perfectly capable of) a natural birth for our baby, I was surprised by DP's reaction. He gave me the impression he doesn't think I can do it! I find that irritating, as he seems to be very closed minded when it comes to childbirth. He said why should I go without pain relief if I'm in pain.

Any ideas on how to better educate him on the huge positives of a natural birth without upsetting him? He seemed to think I've gone bananas or something.

Advice would be appreciated. (I'm 7 wks on Saturday so we've got plenty of time..) Thanks in advance.
