I totally agree with you! My Body, My Baby, My Way!! We wanted everything to be natural when Katie was born. People thought I was crazy for not wanting meds!! Thankfully my labor was very short and easy, so I was able to stick to the plan. Not sure I would have been able to if I had a long, hard labor! Katie was a week late, so they had to break my water to get things moving, but that was the only thing not natural... anyway, I love your blog :) Thanks for sharing about Ridley's birth and your experience!

I took classes, had midwives. But I had a 50 hour labor and was pushed pretty hard by my MIDWIFE to get pitocin and an epidural. Looking back I'm glad I was able to have it because it meant I could rest a little and be able to remember the birth of our son. But this time around I'm hoping for a shorter labor and more supportive midwives (I've since changed practices). .-= Helen Joy´s last blog ..<a href="http://helenjoygeorge.blogspot.com/2010/06/mouse-in-my-house.html" rel="nofollow">A Mouse in my House!</a> =-.

The Lord truly does answer prayer. It was through looking at the spinningbabies website that I saw that the site's creator was trained by a chiro who happens to live near me. And she was in town with open appointments the week I needed her. God is good! My first choice for getting baby turned was an incredible osteopath nearby who does manipulation and acupuncture. But he was so expensive! If you have one of those near you, that could be an option too. @Kelly,

I love chiropractic! I think acupuncture can be used similarly to turn babies (through the nervous system, of course). Thanks for the resource! :) @Grace, Fabulous advice, Grace! I love chiropractic!

I guess my point is that yes, every single birth is different, therefore doctors shouldn't try to force each one into the same mold. And I'm a firm believer in a flexible birth plan. :) Thanks for your great comment! @teresa, You have an amazing story.
