"Natural" Child Birthing

Well, some opt for the meds and others don't. Whatever your choice, please ensure that you are educated. Many do not know that an epidural is a "cocktail" of drugs. Any concoction of drugs on hand is used to create the ultimate pain reliever. Whereas, experiencing childbirth without meds is a short-lived rewarding experience. There is a bond and connection with your child that is inexplicable. The mother is also able to "feel" the baby to aid in pushing out the baby quicker. The "labor pains" are over before you know it and you are having another child all over again.

I would highly recommend a Bradley Natural Birthing Class and teacher. For recommendations in the Washington, DC area, comment on this post.
