I just need to applaud the women who face difficult decisions in birth. I feel blessed in that my births are pretty smooth. I've never had my water break, I've never been gbs positive, I've always progressed, there's never been any question about the health of my baby. So, yea, I have natural births, but in pretty smooth sailing waters.
As I watch what rougher waters look like though...those women who are trying to navigate between the natural and the medical with no crystal ball to tell them how their body would respond to either, I am amazed at their capacity to make decisions for themselves and for their unborn child.
Often times these decisions are not in their plans, and were never expected in the first place. They are often made under fears and trepidations with a great sense of the unknown. I say that mountain is just as hard to climb, if not harder than a normal straightforward normal birth. So I want you all to know...those who have faced those troubled waters that you are amazing and deserve just as much recognition as any woman who has ever born a child.
