[quote=Anonymous]My disillusionment hit right at the start. I had planned a totally natural, drug free, beautiful birthing experience and ended up saying yes to pitocin, artificially breaking my water, epidural and finally I had an emergency c-section. I was devastated! I did everything that I swore I wouldn't. The whole process just seemed to have spiraled out of control and become a wreck. Of course, I ended up with a beautiful, healthy baby- but it took me a long time to come to grips with how little control I had over how she was born - I honestly felt like a failure and that I was already a bad mom for not bringing her into the world in an idyllic way. I have 3 kids now. The third was an easy, schedule section. And I was OK with that :-) [/quote]
