Scott, ask my wife if it was a team effort and she'll definitely say yes. We went our own route with the whole pregnancy and birth choosing what we felt was the best for us. Basically we read everything we could, really worked on good nutrition, took a class on Hypnobirthing, and worked together as a team even during the labor and delivery.
Pete, natural means the only drugs she had were some herbal remedies and a whopping 400 milligrams of ibuprofen. No narcotics, Scientology, epidurals or anything else. We started off labor at 4 in the morning, hit the really heavy phase about 3pm, she was born at 5, and we were home at 8:30 resting comfortably at home.
Thanks for all the well wishes everyone!
Rick
