[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Water birthing in a  hospital perhaps?  No damn way is anyone putting a belt across me when I'm in labor.  Wouldn't work in the birthing pool anyway. And how would i be able to move the way i need to to alleviate pain?  [/quote]

My hospital (in DC area) didn't have remote monitoring. My options were pitocin or to go against medical advise and insurance wouldn't pay. So I took pitocin and monitoring. There went any change of me moving to alleviate pain or a birthing pool. [b]I just laid on my back in pain because that's all I could do. [/b]I felt unsupported.[/quote]

You're kidding, right?  Hospitals and OBs don't still do this, do they?  That's what they did to women  in the 1950s. That's what they did to me. Lying on your back is pure hell and the most unnatural position one could possibly give birth in.  Surely birthing procedures have improve since then? Lots of walking around to get/keep things moving?  [/quote]

lying on your back is because you're getting monitoring because you got induced.  they don't tie you to the bed!  PP's issue is that she declined the epidural and decided to inflict additional pain on herself.  [/quote]
