ignorance
I don't like it when first time moms talk about how they want an all natural child birth experience without medication, and here is why. They say they want to be fully alert and not "out of it" during their childs birth. This is insulting. It is just like saying "You were out of it when you gave birth and I want to be able to bond with my baby and remember my birth because you don't"
I was fully alert when my son was born. I remember every detail vividly. In fact, before the epidural I was (at that time) in so much pain, that I was out of it. Er..I mean I was so focused on the pain, it was hard to remember what I had previously looked forward to.
And BTW I was able to push my 8 pound 3 ounce boy out in 15 minutes. So don't give me that either.
