This made me smile. Grounding is so relaxing and peaceful. Nature is the best thing ever 💚

it’s unfortunate that many women believe that women will choose to labor unmedicated for simply the “medal” or bragging rights instead of understanding the true prize (and the reasons to do it unmedicated) being a smoother recovery, lower risk of 3rd/4th degree tearing, lower risk of needing vacuum or forceps, the ability to move around during and after birth, peeing without a catheter, your natural flow of hormones following labor are not disrupted and allow for best baby bonding and breastfeeding outcomes, less swelling, avoiding possible long-term complications like chronic pain and nerve damage, and the many more benefits.
so yes, you should be proud of yourself for enduring the worst now for you and your baby’s benefit later.
I understand there’s no “prize” for having a baby naturally with no epidural, but I didn’t manage to do it last time, and labor is really very painful, so actually I think you are allowed to be proud of yourself and have some bragging rights, I’m gonna be pretty proud of myself if I can manage to do it naturally this second time around
