Labour

I have never known that there are so many technicalities to childbirth. What with all the tearing and cuts and epidural and laughing gas......its all so confusing. Some people swear by "no painkillers" and yet some cannot live without it. Some would go for C-section without a second thought and yet others want to experience natural childbirth. So what is the best method anyways?

What first got me interested in childbirth method (as compared to previously either C-sec or natural) is this lady who is a staunch Christian lady who homeschools her children as well. Did I mention she has 6 kids? Anyways, she conducts the "Experiencing God through Pregnancy course" in Wesley and since she just gave birth to her 6th child, I really do not think she is conducting another class soon. Well, my church friend (single and unmarried) actually advised me to read up her website. http://www.buildingupmoms.com/ In her website she shares her many experiences with pregnancy, labour and home schooling.

When I read about her lastest birth on her blog, I was so touched and decided that it is probably how I would want Bakong's birth to be like. Yeah, natural and knowing that God is in control. Now I am so addicted to reading other people's birth stories, stories that might cause a woman who has not given birth to cringe in fear.

Hahaha, well, just remember that God is in control. When you think of God and your little baby who is coming out, hopefully the pain will be lessened. But then, what do I know, I might just scream and faint in pain and there goes my plan to have Bakong naturally......
