I’m not totally into the attachment parenting thing as in my opinion it has to lead to parenting burn out. However, I agree with the comments about child birth – although I had my boys in hospital I had a drug and intervention free experience and I would say it was “beyond pain” as well

i get how when you labour you just withdraw into yourself and tune into your body and you just try to ride the contractions out

Congratulations to them they look so happy

Drug free for both births but in a hospital.

Thanks for sharing, love Alanis.

No time for drugs with 2 of mine. I don’t think I’d ever want to have a home birth as a plan, but if I didn’t get to the hospital then that’s a different matter.

My aim was to have healthy babies and not necessarily a drug free birth.

I think how you have and raise your child is up to the individual.

All the best to her and her family

Ah yes, my childbirth was painless and blissful, haha

Interesting and infomative reading. Good luck Alanis.

I think each to their own is the key

I would not have wanted a home birth, and I’ve done both, had a good labour with an epidural, had a bad epidural experience and given birth to our last child without one, which may be empowering but was jolly painful, and, if I’m honest only because I waited too long to request the pain relief

thanks for sharing was a good read

i would not have a home birth to much can go wrong. And give me drugs im no super woman lol

Thanks for sharing and congratulations

For safety reason, birth in the hospital better choice for me.Thanks for sharing. Great article. I enjoyed reading it,I think the hospital is the best place

Thanks for sharing. Great article. I enjoyed reading it.

I had a c-section then a drug free vbac then a drug free home birth with just my husband. Each experience better than the last!
