How Gross!

I watched some videos on birthing the other day and made Sean sit and watch them with me - one on birth with epidural, one natural and a c-section. I'm sorry, but non of that is natural. It's all very gross and we don't plan on watching anything again. I understand why it's the miracle of life and all that, but good grief, can't they find another way of delivering. I kept telling Sean it all looked inhumane and undignified. Ewwwww!

After much prayer I've decided not to stress about the whole process and method. I will feel confident that I have done all I can to bring a healthy human into the world and rest in God's grace. I will stand the pain as long as I can and if I need an epidural - I'll take it. I don't plan on taking anything else and am so glad I have a doctor that is very understanding of my wants and preferences. Many woman would not agree with me but praise God for medical knowledge. I know that woman were made for giving birth, but many also died giving birth that could be saved now.

Yes, place it in God's hands. But, try to walk one hour every day and get a book to learn the streaching exercises you need to be doing in order to have an easy birthing experience. It really works. I am a living testimony of it.
