I can totally relate to this post. I have two girls and my first one was born in a hospital and the second was a homebirth. The difference was night and day. While researching for my homebirth I learned the exact same things that you stated about the part of hormones during labor, and that was so amazing. I think one of the other ways that fear of the pain of childbirth is so great is from the flood of lies in the world through media. Movies and TV shows over-dramatize the labor experience as a situation that people have to freak out about. Spiritually from my experience, it was a wonderful time to fully lean on the Father for everything and trust in the fact that He provided me with everything to bring my child into the world. Now I am working on having that mindset everyday and it seemed so much easier to be in that place in labor than it is not being in labor!

This series has been very enlightening.
I wanted to share my experience regarding natural birth. I have only one son, born through a C-section I wasn't counting on. I was given the drug to stimulate contractions because I had none, which was excruciatingly painful, so much so that I couldn hardly push and make it even worse. It took four+ hours of that pain without the pain relief of the epidural (at the end I was begging for it!) until the monitoring showed the heartbeats of my baby were not right and the C-section was decided.
After the birth, the baby just didn't latch to my breast, he just kept crying and sleeping, sleeping and crying, and I had no calostrum or milk for days. The worst thing they did at the clinic was hand me a baby bottle with formula. My son never wanted the breast again! Of course I only learned about the side effects of the epidural AFTER the birth.
If I had to live through this again, I would reject the uterine stimulants and pray for the contractions to come naturally and I would try not to get the epidural shot unless the doctor said a C-section was absolutely necessary (if my baby's life was at risk).

I have been sharing this series on my blog, and I thank you and pray The Lord Bless you for tackling this monumental issue. It has been such an in depth and informative read, and I pray an education to Many.
You touching on natural childbirth is wonderful. I have a ten yr old son and I had felt Very strongly from the beginning of my pregnancy to have a natural childbirth. I did so, following the leading of the HS, and it was a wonderful and beautiful experience that I truly cherish. I have many medical issues now, and I long for at least one more child. Due to my medical issues, if God were to bless me with another, I know this would be a different experience, but I am still such a supporter of natural childbirth. Life is a gift from God, and life should have the best chance possible (as God intended) upon entering this world. I understand some Must have medical intervention, and they shouldn't feel bad for that. I only wanted to share my experience and commend you in this series you have been writing.
Blessings, brother Joseph,
N
