How many of you had an intervention-free birth?

I think that is a clearer term than natural childbirth. I did have an episiotomy with my first one because of fetal distress and the midwife broke the water at 8 cm with my last birth. Other than that, I had no interventions: no IV, no electronic monitor, no epidural, and no pitocin. My baby never had the eye drops or the vitamin K shot either.|||My first birth was full of interventions but my second birth was completely intervention free at home... water broke while i was pushing.



My first birth my water broke on its own and then i had pictocin, epidural, continuous fetal monitoring, antibiotics in labor all of that junk.



Pink that depends on where you live. I have soem friends who birth in the hospital and refused Vitamin K ( you can choose oral instead) and eye ointment|||For you to have had an *intervention-free birth* you MUST have delivered either at home or at a birthing center! Those are the ONLY 2 places that would allow you to refuse the eye drops and vitamin K shot!



I was slotted for a home birth with my 4th and final until we found twins - wasn't going to happen after that
