I fully believe you can do it but also know first hand how those plans can quickly change! My 1st baby was completely drug free and I was hoping to repeat that for the second. However, she had different plans and after several scary moments was born completely healthy via c-section and I was never so happy in my life. <br />My point is...go with what you want...but, please remember however your beautiful girl decides to enter this world or whether you had drugs or not will not matter in the least. I had two completely different experiences but still ended up with two beautiful outcomes! Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826638642447227179.post-79639770312309792902010-10-19T11:32:05.523-05:002010-10-19T11:32:05.523-05:00I agree with the other comments -- keep in mind th...I agree with the other comments -- keep in mind that a plan is just a plan and it can change in the middle of the process. Most of the "usual" things that happen for pregnant women (such as an IV) are set up in case the worst should happen. They want to keep you and the baby safe. <br /><br />Like Becky said - the most important part of the plan is to be flexible and even go with the flow. <br /><br />I was able to deliver my first son with just 2 doses of a pain relief drug and my second son with none, BUT being in the middle of the birthing process - a LOT can happen and I felt a LOT of emotions that I did not expect to feel. <br /><br />Just keep in mind, it may be in your best interest to keep an open mind to what the doctors are suggesting too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826638642447227179.post-6895556780165261402010-10-18T20:24:48.677-05:002010-10-18T20:24:48.677-05:00Bailey,

They were not insured and realized it would be much cheaper to switch to a birthing center instead of the hospital they were attending. She had an amazing, natural, water birth and enjoyed her experience. <br /><br />Here is her blog info: <br />http://mlbecker.blogspot.com/Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324666218191917492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826638642447227179.post-42241369463130542122010-10-18T14:42:14.714-05:002010-10-18T14:42:14.714-05:00It sounds like a mid-wife is your best choice.

If your truly want a drug free birth a mid-wife will be the right person to help you through your labor drug-free.<br />Just remember, you have never felt labor pains before - and you have NO IDEA what it is like, so don't set yourself up for disappoint if you decide to have some sort of intervention ( drugs ) once labor really starts. I know so many mom's who want a drug-free delivery then once labor really starts are begging for drugs. They then fell like they failed...<br />A healthy baby and healthy Mommy are the goal of any good health care professional! Just remember that if things don't work out your way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826638642447227179.post-68076907730382838102010-10-18T07:49:00.734-05:002010-10-18T07:49:00.734-05:00Keep us posted on how that appointment goes.
