It amazes me how other people think your birthing experiences are their business! I think each individual will choose the birth that is right for them, if possible.

A lot of ppl (in my experience) that believe in totally natural, home birthing etc feel it is up to them to 'enligten' you on what you did wrong and what the 'right' way is. Please don't be offended, lovely home birth ladies - I believe in your right to choose the birthing that's right for you too! And I don't mean all are like this, it has just been my personal experience in recent weeks.

I had a vaginal birth and was given a lot of "oh good girl" type comments which I found hilarious. Birthing is an individual thing, and these days we have choices like drugs, inductions, c-sections etc. Women should not pressure each other in this regard IMHO.

I felt extremely pressured not to have an epi and to have a natural birth by OB and midwives too, I regretted not having more pain relief later.
