My wife gave birth at Baylor medical center in Dallas. At the time we had no conception of home birth so it wasn’t even on our radar as a possibility. At the same time though I was very pleased with the more natural outlook they seemed to have a Baylor. She did the whole thing without any drugs and was immediately visited by a member of la leche league afterward. I imagine that home birth would be much more family friendly (obviously, right), but our experience at Baylor was much better than I expected for a hospital birth. Nice post, thanks

Thanks for publishing the interview here. I should add that Many men seem to have a squeamish approach to childbirth. They are very keen about getting involved with the conception part, but are happy to 'sit out' at the birth. This is a huge loss to the man and I think unsupporting for the relationship. We used hypnosis in the birthing process and no medical drugs or intervention at all. I can truly say that we were more connected during that time than at any other and witnessing the power of a natural woman powered by the depth of her instincts was a most awesome experience I will never forget. It engenders a true sense of respect and understanding. The female often thought of as weaker physically and emotionally vulnerable, stands as a pinnacle of strength, a vision of determination and beauty when faced with the ultimate human challenge of birthing a child naturally. No man should miss this, as it is a true inspiration. .-= Mr Green´s last blog ..Ecover Power Clean vs Cillit Bang degreaser =-.
