Definatly not unrealistic! How many people have had drug free births? It is obviously do-able!

Yep it's gonna hurt but the thing is, stress and fear make it hurt a lot more. If you are calm and just accept and go with your body it's not as painful. It's when your body tenses up that it really hurts. These people may have been scared and had quite complicated births which they probably think is how all births are.

Take it with a grain of salt (or less) and go in there with a clear mind. Have your head held high and the have faith that you can do this!
