Both of my births were medication free, all natural, completely amazing births. They have been the most empowering experiences of my life. I read the book "Husband Coached Childbirth" by Dr. Robert Bradley and that was the turning point in my pregnancy. I read this book when I was 6 months pregnant and I signed up for a local Bradley class. As I learned more about my body and pregnancy, this inspired me to ask more questions of my healthcare providers. When I realized I wasn't happy with my OB and that we weren't on the same page about doing everything possible for a natural birth, I began my hunt for a new one asking a long list of questions that ultimately lead me to my awesome midwife from Women's Healthcare Partners in Boca Raton, Florida. Even though I was already 32 weeks pregnant, I changed from my OB to my midwife and it was THE BEST decision I ever made. It was scary to make so many last minute changes, but I was determined to have a natural birth. I never said I was gonna try for a natural birth - I said I was GOING to have a natural birth. And I had the most amazing births - twice. I hope you find them informative and helpful!
