What was the most challenging thing about going natural?
Nothing was challenging about it. I started out having natural births with our first child who was born in a hospital and then two more natural births in a hospital then decides to change up our birthing plan completely by going all the way natural i mean no medical intervention or any type of dr in site. and i will tell you it was the most peaceful, calm, relaxing, confident birthing experience i had and would do it again if we ever have another child.
