@Donotbelieve My ex-wife also had all pain med free births. Our first son was born at home with a doctor in attendance and an ambulance waiting outside -- everything went great. Our twins were born at a birthing center, with a doctor and emergency equipment in the building. The room we had in the birthing center was like a nice hotel room. Everything went well with the twins' birth too.

@Donotbelieve Fraternal boys. Yes, she was impressive. I would have supported whichever method of delivery she preferred, since she was the one who had to do it. But I did love the fact that I had the privilege of experiencing the deliveries -- amazing!

As a Mid-wife, the biggest I ever helped deliver was a 12 pound, 11 ounce baby girl to a mother that was a skinny as rake handle and Dad who'd need to run around in the shower just so he'd get wet.
