| you may have "decided" on a natural birth with no drugs... but that may not be possible.
in the long run what matters is the safe delivery of your baby and your health. if this means that you need drugs or if this means that you have a c-section, it does NOT make you less of a mother than if you deliver vaginally.
one of the biggest parts of being a mother is being able to roll with the punches.
i'd try to get used to the idea that may not be the birth that you dreamed, but that's the way it goes.
i wish you luck with the birth, i KNOW what being in excruciating pain while pregnant is like, you have my utmost sympathy! |
