Ren - the thing you have to remember - back in their day when they were giving birth - most of them were in stirrups - on their back - unable to move - and giving birth against gravity. No wonder they had drugs!!!! It wouldn't have been the most pleasant experience for them - and times have changed so much (my mum was SHOCKED when i said that I would be aiming for an active birth - with no drugs - even though i didn't get to experience it)

So I don't blame them on what they think is "silly" to try to do in our generation - cos back then it just wasn't done. IYKWIM?

So just let it roll off your back honey - and you SHOW them how its done these days
