What makes a successful birth? Are they possible? I was an unbeliever, until I learned some really hard lessons from my first birth (and through the birth trauma) and applied it to my second birth that ended up being mostly successful.

One of the big ticket items of having that successful birthing experience, was that after having a completely unmedicated, natural, no-epidural birth for my first baby, I went with an epidural (half dose!) for my second. I outline what I felt were the pros and cons of a natural vs. epidural birth.
