Comments on: Step Away From the DRAMA! http://prenatalyogacenter.com/blog/step-away-from-the-drama/ A New York City mom sharing her knowledge as a childbirth educator, labor support doula, and her own journey through motherhood Thu, 17 May 2012 04:21:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Whitnee http://prenatalyogacenter.com/blog/step-away-from-the-drama/#comment-92 Whitnee Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:26:06 +0000 http://prenatalyogacenter.com/blog/?p=29#comment-92 Thank you as well! It seems that people are so eager to share all of the horror stories, in what could go wrong. I am a 1st time mother, who is really hoping to have a natural child birth and work solely with mid-wives. I find that this is very foriegn for the area I live in (Southern Idaho), and have been told by mother after mother to be afraid. I have begun asking not to hear these stories. I have a vivid enough imagination as it is! So I thank you for your article! Also there is an incredible documentary out that I believe all women should see/know about. It is called the Business of Being Born and really provided me with the strength I needed to create my own birth plan. I was on the phone, hunting down midwives the next day! Thanks Again. This is a valuable site! Whitnee Thank you as well! It seems that people are so eager to share all of the horror stories, in what could go wrong.

I am 29 years old and have been continually putting off getting pregnant since I got married 3 years ago. I am not a watcher of these shows and when channel surfing I would watch just a few minutes and have to change the channel. I only considered watching them in that moment thinking I need to educate myself so I am not scared. Those short moments just brought fear. Not what I need cause I am so emotional. Thank you for bringing to my attention that there are positive birth stories out there and how they can be used to ease my fears. Very grateful, Jolene. This article is exactly what I needed to hear.
