[quote=Anonymous]I think using the term "natural" can be confusing, as some interpret is solely as a vaginal birth, and others interpret it as intervention free (meaning no IV's, no epidurals, no medication, just a woman and her body). Whatever path you choose, it's important to research the location you're giving birth (hospital or birth center, I'd assume you know your home pretty well if you choose a home birth) and familiarize yourself with their rules. If you're not comfortable, start looking elsewhere. It also would help to make a list of what really is important to you about the birthing process (such as delayed cord clamping, delayed bath, etc), as you might have to make some sacrifices and prioritize your list. My best friend didn't want to forgo food, but delaying the cord clamping was more important, so that's the hospital she chose (out of state).[/quote]
