Why 'extra special'? read on...you'll know :)

Natural childbirth (i.e.without epidural) needs both physical and mental preparation. You have to eat well, exercise to make your body stronger and most importantly mentally prepare yourself to go thru' labor. Average labor time is around 14 hours, that's approx 14 hours of non-stop intense discomfort that you can't stop even you want to!

Natural childbirth is painful, so painful that you will feel helpless, you will cry for mercy & at times even ask God for death (trust me, I am not being dramatic, this is true!). But in the end when its all over, I'm sure any Mom would do it all over again the exact same way & wouldn't change a thing!

All Mom's are special as neither pregnancy nor childbirth is easy but when a Mom chooses to forgo taking an epidural and decides to go thru' the painful experience, I think it makes her 'extra special':)

Baby Delilah's Mommy not only had a natural childbirth but she gave birth to Baby Delilah at home with minimal medical intervention, under water in a bath tub with the help of a doula & a mid-wife. Kudos to Mommy for such an amazing feat, for this you truly are extra special :) !
