They carry risks, which should be disclosed when the option is presented. For me personally the epidural was not what I wanted, and I felt I failed in some way when I got it.

I don't know whether the control/power concept applies to every woman, but I've realized that it played a part in my decision to have a natural birth.Cherylynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683110268816902044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696700066484520396.post-81093515803011266792010-01-17T17:19:04.642-07:002010-01-17T17:19:04.642-07:00I wrote this as a response to a question posted on...I wrote this as a response to a question posted on a pregnancy/birth website.
