I...I'm so glad it could be an encouragement! I've had plenty of people look at me like I'm crazy when I told them I did it naturally, but if you're able, it's amazing and totally possible. Not easy, but definitely possible :) So excited for your little one- you're getting so close!!!Kaity Stuckerthttp://beeautifulblessings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269431956658509659.post-26128793742448359602015-02-13T15:34:22.310-05:002015-02-13T15:34:22.310-05:00This is so encouraging!

Every woman is different, and I support women getting the birth they want, but I just think that there is no easy way out of birthing pain. It is going to be hard no matter what, even with an epidural. To me, it seems like there is always a catch to those interventions that supposedly make childbirth easier. Of all the birth stories I have heard from friends, the easiest-sounding ones are actually the natural child birth stories! The ones that sound horrible were full of interventions intended to make the whole thing "easier". Bottom line is, I plan on trusting my body and hanging on for dear life. :-/ We'll see if my story changes after Violet is born. :) Thank you for sharing this post!jenericgenerationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269431956658509659.post-20984930448727947802015-01-27T22:24:48.752-05:002015-01-27T22:24:48.752-05:00No judgment, EVER!

Yes, my right leg was numb for 6 weeks (literally, I was dragging it behind me), but my thanks was in the safe delivery of my #3 baby boy. I've had NOTHING, I've had EVERYTHING and still I say, "Just show me the baby." I don't care how he/she gets here...just know that you are about to experience THE BEST THING ever in your life. Kaity...you ARE the Warrior Woman to me b/c you stuck to your plan. There was never any judgment. Some have C-Sections, some have Epiderals, some have nothing. END RESULT: a beautiful, healthy baby. THAT'S the Plan! So Thankful!

The feeling stuck and out of control was the worst feeling ever. So with my daughter I went natural and I thought the process was so much better because I was as in control as possible! Now, if the first epidural had worked, I might be singing a different tune ;) I appreciated how you said we shouldn't judge each other for how our babies arrive!!

Holy cannoli--you are wonder woman to me. I am also a control freak, but I am not afraid to admit I'm terrified to have children for the pain factor alone. You inspire me!
