But in fact, despite the cervadil, pitocin, and epidural, she was able to stay calm and peacefully push out her baby boy in 30 minutes!  Her family and friends were nearby to welcome him to the world and all was fine in the end.  This reminds us to expect the unexpected, and that we can still embrace our own story, even if it happened differently from the first draft.

Birthplan

Prepare for the unexpected.  Know your rights, and know your hospital's protocol.  Educate yourself about all the ways a labor may unfold.  Then you may just get the birth you want!
