What advice can you give to other mamas who want to go natural?
I will advice them that going natural requires a lot of determination, determination to withstand pain and pull through. I have had cesarean section before but I can boldly say I will rather opt for natural birth instead of Cesarean, cos you will be part of the whole process from start to finish, you will feel your body responding to dilation, the crowning process even get to say bye-bye to your Placenta for a job well done etc.
