Re: Pain relief during childbirth?

Just to say that this is actually totally unhelpful. For you natural birth may be unnecessary suffering and that view is perfectly OK. Epidurals and Caesarians do have their place, but really -- what is the point of telling horror stories of painful birth to women that are about to go through this experience for the first time except to make them even more scared?
Well, it's actually no more helpful than women being made to feel that any pain relief or intervention they accept is some kind of failure in their birthing because it's "not natural". What poppycock!
