I am happy to hear that you are considering natural childbirth. You are definitely on the right track with doing your research. It is much easier when you know what to expect. I used The Bradley Method (also called Husband Coached Childbirth) for two of my births. I basically just read the book and did the exercises at home with the hubby. This method give the hubby a role in the birth so that he can help out and doesn't feel so out of control during the birth. My husband was a little freaked out too! His previous wife and he had two children, who were both born with an epidural. She was totally un-prepared for birth, and made it seem horrible. (The epidural hurt her as much as the labor itself, he said. They also botched it and she had terrible headaches and back pain for a long time.) He could not see how a woman could make it through without the meds! But, with our births, he saw how a woman can work with her body. He gave me massages and helped with my slow, rythmic breathing. It was a huge bonding experience, and he said that he even bonded with the children more easily because of it. I wish you the best of luck, and offer my advice on any subject you need help with. You may email me here or comment on the site. Congrats on the new baby! Hey Nevett! I am happy to hear that you are considering natural childbirth.

I want to have a natural childbirth but my husband is really freaked out about me having a natural childbirth because he doesn't want to see me hurt. But from everything I have read I see that if I can do it that way it will be much much better for me & the baby. I am 4 months pregnant..

After giving birth naturally twice(last time was 2 months ago!), I wouldn't want it any other way... I totally agree!
