BONUS!

Though I have had 7 natural, non-medicated births, I understand your right to choose your own birth wishes. I have had clients who have had wonderful un-medicated births as well as clients who have beautiful medicated births. I have even had some clients start on medication before my arrival and be able to proceed un-medicated once I was there; this was a volunteer situation where we met in the labor process. I’ve had other clients able to go un-medicated despite the use of pitocin. Since I respect my clients birth wishes, one client had gone from 7-8cm to 9cm in ten minutes. She felt at this point she needed an epidural. She used our code word and at 9cm was given an epidural. (Ten minutes from 9cm she was fully dilated and ready to push)

This is your birth day and I am there to help you make well informed choices either way. Every choice has a pro and con and with the information presented you are free to move forward knowing you are doing what is best for you and your baby.
