cindy b - Just had to post that giving birth without medication is not some out of the ordinary thing...I've had 2 babies WITHOUT any medication at all. :-)

tara Whitney - thanks everyone! cindy-its definitely out of the ordinary nowadays. dr's are pushing c-section more and more, and inductions with epidurals. i wish i had known about hypnobabies when i was still giving birth. i didnt know there were other options aside from lamaze and pain meds.
