When we were trying to get pregnant and finding it difficult, I couldn't even consider sitting through those pregnancy/birth shows on TLC and Discovery Health and now I can't STOP watching them!! I'm really considering having a completely natural birth. And not because I'm worried about my baby coming out all "drugged"; I'm considering it because it seems the women who do it naturally (whether they intend to or not) get that baby out much quicker! Of course I have never experienced labor, or contractions (other than that minor braxton hicks contraction which I already forgot what it really felt like) so who knows what I will decide once I get there......
Also, the Duggars are so amazing to me! How Michelle Duggar manages to have 18 kids (and pregnant with #19), remain completely calm AND have EVERYBODY getting along, is just so fascinating! I got up at 3 in the morning one night (couldn't sleep), ate some lucky charms and watched Anna Duggar give birth to her first little baby......naturally.
Have you watched The Business of Being Born? It's one of the things that made me want a natural birth. It is, like any other documentary, swayed toward its' agenda but it's a really good look into the world of home birthing/natural birth. I'm still going with a hospital birth but I'm going to do it natural, if possible!
ReplyDeleteI have not watched that show but I'm going to see if I can find it on You Tube. I love any shows about having babies! I even watched a show last week about a pregnant quadraplegic.
