That was my birth plan as well. Then I got pre-eclampsia. I took all the meds they offered. Sometimes your body rebels against your birth plan. This? Is a nurse showing a laboring woman that the doctor is really In charge.

I am newly pregnant with our 1st (after years of trying) and this was exactly the kind of article I should be avoiding.

“largely as a trendy symptom of privileged white hysteria”

“Bonjour, bleedypuss!”

I was baffled by the cynicism on display here, but then I remembered that I’m on the internet and that people are terrible.
