That's a lot of courage! Good job! Going through all the labor pains and natural birth has got to be one of the hardest things a mother can ever experience. I can only revel through my Mom's stories and my aunt's. It's so great for you to be cheered on and encouraged. That also helped. I was considering to take a few classes for the Lamaze Method of giving birth. I inquired hospitals to ask if they have it here. Sadly they don't. :( Turns out that I won't be needing this as I have to undergo C-section to take out the baby. As much as I'd love to do lamaze, I can't---it's all down to 3 babies, all CS. Anyway, enough about me. Congratulations Mommy!
