I have never seen a woman labouring in person, and have really only seen the birthing process depicted in movies. I'm not that naive that I actually think Hollywood would be accurate, so I decided to watch a few youtube videos this afternoon to educate myself on what labour is about. You know, forewarned is forearmed and all that?! I've watched two so far (both home births in water) and it looks SO.*^%#}^+^%.PAINFUL.
I'm a little scared now! I really want to try and go through it drug free ( I want to be fully present and with no drugs on board) but I've never heard woman actually moo like cows in pain before! Seriously, mothers are amazing creatures and bravo to those of you who have given birth. Me? I've got 5 months to prepare myself!
