My baby is an amazing blessing to my life. God gave him to me to change my life. I lost my oldest sister and the devil got a hold of me through my pain. I found peace and joy in my son. I never wanted kids, but he was what I needed. I chose natural birth for the delivery of my son. My son's father had two aunts that were pastors/evangelists and they preached to me about birth, and gave me a whole sermon from the bible about how God intended for birth to be because of the choices. They also prayed over my stomach so much that I had no complications my whole pregnancy nor during labor and delivery. I didn't feel a contraction or anything enough to want any medicine. Also my doctor was female, and explained to me what happens with the different methods for pain relief. I was afraid my son would get too much of the medicine in his system through me, and I didn't want him to be so high that I couldn't look in his eyes when I had him because he was asleep. I had heard too many horror stories about the lifelong pain that comes from an epidural, so I went to all the natural birth classes that in Birmingham offered. I got myself right with God and I was at peace with my decision to go natural. There was nothing or any one that could change my mind. I wanted to feel it because I knew it would make my bond stronger with my son.
