I really appreciate ...This is such an intense post. I really appreciate your thoughts on the matter. I think there are a lot of differences between each mother and their child and so ultimately what they decide to do is their own choice and every choice that leads to a healthy birth is a good one. I personally believe the human body is amazing and can do so many miraculous things on its own. However, I also believe that medicinal aids are a God-sent gift as well, to be used at our discretion. So, I vary in my desires to do specific things, depending on the circumstances. Ethan's labor and delivery was more or less natural, though I did have an epidural given near the end, because I felt it was the thing to do. <br /><br />I still have mixed feelings on inductions, especially since I was given Petocin in my first birth without being consulted. It'll be interesting to see what you do. If you're praying and researching and doing what you feel best, I'm sure it will be what's the best for you and your baby. Love you, Shelley!<br /><br />PS - I do want to hear more about this Fetal Doppler...Jenni Rollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646665698074506727noreply@blogger.com
