[quote=Anonymous]I don’t blame OP. As a FTM you are vulnerable to a lot of ideology around birth, pregnancy, and mothering. It’s hard to have perspective because you have no first hand experience. This practice in particular basically makes it sound like if you do all the things they say “right” (ie exercise an hour a day, follow a strict diet, get a doula, prepare for birth the “right” way, -and don’t use pain relief in labor) that you’ll have an empowered, uncomplicated vaginal birth and avoid a horrible unnecessary C section (which is clearly the worst and most unnatural thing in the world). The problem is these views are extreme and do not guarantee a good outcome, or a good birth experience for that matter (speaking from experience). It’s only after you’re through one kid that you have any real perspective and frame of reference.

OP, stop worrying about the diet. Eat the damn pretzels. Eat the whole damn bag. I promise you it won’t make your baby 10 pounds or give him/her diabetes and the ghost of Ina May won’t visit you in your dreams or tell you you aren’t committed enough or a good mom. [/quote]
