[quote=Anonymous]I also wanted an unmedicated birth.  Perfect healthy pregnancy, lots of preparation for unmedicated birth, etc.  At 42 weeks my doctor told me we had to induce, which we did.  Wasn't progressing for hours, and the doctor began to suggest a C section, which I resisted because I wanted to salvage at least that part of my idealized birth plan.  Well, I got my way, but the baby got stuck in the birth canal (umbilical cord wrapped around his body twice, essentially holding him in place).  He almost died, I almost died, and I think if I had waited even more day he would have been too big and neither of us would be here now. It was so traumatic that my husband really still doesn't like talking about it.  10 years later, I still have internal damage from that birth, and if I could go back and do it again I would have had the C section or induced at 41 weeks.  So while I understand (and applaud) your desire for a med-free vaginal birth, try not to get too committed emotionally to your birth plan so you can keep an open mind and really weigh your doctor's advice.  I wish you all the best and hope that your delivery is easy, uncomplicated, and healthy.[/quote]
