Most definitely, cows for the most part love milking time. Right after calving and for a day or two after they can be a bit sore, or if they get an infection, but 99% of the time it is their happy place.

Not everyone gets to do every thing.

"If you want a natural childbirth, you should not even think about the other options. You're going to do it. Don't say you'll try. If you keep the epidural on the backburner in your mind, you'll probably end up needing it."

I had a similar thought. I had 2 c-sections and the recovery from each was awful. My neighbor had a baby at the same time vaginally and was jogging(!!!) 5 days later. it took 2 months or more each time for me to heal, with several problems along the way. a c-section is fine, but the author's experience is not…
