[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had three out of hospital non-medicated births so I can't answer your specific question about Sibley. However, if you're insistent on remaining in-hospital you may wish to take a class on natural birth (I like Birth Bootcamp) as you might find that the labor nurses on staff that day won't be able to support you in the way you'd like due to lack of experience with non-medicated births. Maybe also consider a doula.

You've got this! It's all mental. If you're a determined person and you've made up your mind, just stay the course. As bad as it hurt during the worst parts I would just remind myself it would be over soon and I'd get to meet my baby. Ride the waves. [/quote]

As the mom of a forceps baby who was malpositioned I can assure you that it is not all mental. Much comes down to anatomy, luck, and chance. Not your commitment. [/quote]

While I don't think it is 100% mental, I also don't think it is 100% luck and chance. Don't be bitter.[/quote]

If you fail to recognize the role that good fortune, anatomy, fetal size and positioning,  and genetics play in a successful vaginal
Birth I feel bad for you. Do you get excited that you’re a better pooper or puker than other people? Cause at the end of the day birth is a bodily function we don’t have tons of control over. [/quote]

But she doesn’t fail to recognize it. She says it isn’t 100% “luck and chance”. Which is also what most doctors believe when they tell you to get certain exercise and do certain things to prepare for birth, they’re not just saying sit on the couch and don’t take a childbirth class because it’s all dumb luck.  There is certainly luck and genetics involved, but it’s not 100% luck any more than it’s 100% mental.[/quote]

I disagree. In cases of babies being malpositioned, or not tolerating labor well, or having the cord around their neck, or being breech, or mom developing an infection, or labor failing to progress, etc it’s often just bad luck. Nothing mental about those things.[/quote]
