- Why have women bought into the “medicated birth is better” story?
- Our culture has a mentality of pleasure at all costs so they see c-sections as a way to reduce pain.
- The pain has a purpose.
- Drugs can increase pain, the pain is just different.
- When you consider medical care you have to ask yourself who you’re placing your trust in. God created our bodies to heal themselves and for babies to be born.
- The medical community is made up of humans who are not unbiased or perfect.
- Decide what you need help with and what you can handle.
- Fear will ruin any type of childbirth.
