Positive natural birthing stories

[Kota]

Hi ladies! Loving this thread, hope you don't mind me adding mine.

Natural birth using G&A only after induction. Had to fight to be able to have an active birth, not be continuously monitored and use the water but got my way in the end.

It's VERY long and I don't know if it reads positive or or but it was positive for me - a mostly natural homebirth: https://www.babyandbump.com/birth-stories-announcements/597102-dramatic-arrival-indigo.html

I wouldent say the over all experiance was positive but i got to 9cm with nothing but back ache at home and managed the rest on just gas and air despite neccissary interventions in hospital.

Here's mine - may be of interest to anyone thinking about having a homebirth but maybe not having a pool!

This thread is a great idea! Thank you for including my story

Mmmmm, a nice mug of hot chocolate and I am going to READ all these lovely birth stories... My ovaries will be doing somersaults but I don't care, I love 'em!

Mine here!

I got through a very long 'latent labour' with co-codamol, TENS and an amazing partner - can't recommend a no-drugs, no-hospital birth highly enough!

I'll go find mine I didn't give birth with a MW, just two paramedics, I'd planned an epidural at hospital on my back birth but had an beautiful homebirth as my boy decided to come very quickly I'd never go to hospital to birth again

Birth story on Livejournal

If it's not OK to link to a non-BNB journal, please nudge me ASAP and I'll remove the link. This is a public link to my son's birth story (with pictures). I didn't want to put up a new post in the birth announcements section because, well, he's two and it's not really news, but I feel like there need to be as many positive natural/home birth stories out there as possible! I remember when I was pregnant I could not get enough of them!

First baby, born at home, born fast, born without drugs, and nearly without a midwife!

Here you are: https://www.babyandbump.com/birth-s...mebirth-waterbirth-story-jaspers-arrival.html

Definitely a very positive experience

I was induced... but apart from the drip I had an otherwise natural, drug free birth. It was definitely an empowering, positive experience so I hope I can share my story here to show others that an induction can be positive and doesn't mean you need an epidural.
