Try business of being born. Same kind of movie but gentler. Try taking a natural birth class and know your rights when it comes to interventions.

Oh goodness ladies I would reconsider the walking epidural... Its been banned from my hospital. One of the biggest reasons is you have a huge risk of falling...

I was surprised to see in 'one born every minute USA' (I'm in the UK) a patient give in and ask for an epidural and the midwife reply "well yeah of course, you wouldnt let a dentist pull your teeth without pain relief" if you ask for it here you would be told "but you're doing so well, how about we wait 10mins and see then" they tend to discourage it here...and I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure our rates for c sections and forceps deliveries are a lot lower

I've only seen the business of being born, after I had my first baby, I did have her natural though. from what I remember of the movie I will more than most likely be doing it natural again. Good luck, my advice is to remain calm and focused and stubborn! My stubbornness is really how I had/stuck with a natural labor the first time.

I have watch it. Have to say I still plan on drugs and power to women that do it with out. I am lucky my doctors office offers more then natural or epidural. I am picking a what's called a walking epidural. I will beable to get up and move about. I know a few RNs that work in high risk L&D and said if I pick drugs it was the way to go. Also my doctor rate of women needing csections is less then 10% where currently the norm is over 30%. I have bern begging to be induced if late and my doctor pretty firm on letting her come on her own unless there are other issues.
