I went into labour wanting an all natural, drug free birth, I achieved it but it was nothing like what I expected.

I completed a calmbirth course with my partner & wasn't scared of labour or pain at all, I thought it was a natural process that is not designed to hurt...

....but it did. Oh my god it really was the worst pain & I've had some bad pain in my life. I felt totally unprepared for the pain because I really thought I shouldn't be having it!! Like I said, I didn't have drugs but that was mostly because I had choosen to birth in the birth center & although they had gas, my midwife was not about to offer it to me, I honestly don't think it would have helped though.

Having said all that though, everybody is different.... I wouldn't be suprised if I really am just a total wuss lol.

Good luck with whatever you decide!
