While this thread is daft it also reminds me that the site is actually international. As I read the thread I was flicking channels on my tv and came across "One Born Every Minute USA" It surprised me that women in US thought of natural childbirth as something different to actual natural childbirth

Oh! A two timer? Or is that multi-tasking?
Or is it just that this place has become so boring?
One born every minute? Oh this poor, poor overburdened world!
Oh! The inhumanity!
This thread IS in the daft & doofy thread section!
Well there'd be NOTHIN' natural about this one!
A dear friend of mine out in Colorado had her 2nd one at home alone with her 2yr old in the middle of the night while her husband was on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. She said she just hunkered down between the woodstove & the arm of the couch & had her 2yo bring her a bunch of towels. Wrapped the baby in towels & waited for the paramedics to get there(about 1 1/2hrs). They took her to hosp to have the cord cut & check up on everything. She was x-country skiing up to her last 4 or 6 weeks. Maybe that's why everything went so well.?
I think that's about as close to natural as one can get w/o going out into the woods to give birth!
