Let Us Rephrase

I can't tell you just how much I hate the phrase "natural vs. unnatural" birth.  Come on folks, an "unnatural" birth would mean a baby coming out of your butt!  Like this lovely SNL skit

Seriously though can we stop making each other feel bad for however their child came into the world?  Labor, delivery, and everything after is hard enough without being told they're doing it wrong (if you're abusing or neglecting your child, then ya, you're doing it wrong).  Anywhozzle, read this article.  Then read it again.  Share it with all your lady friends and then hold your head high.  Your body created a WHOLE ENTIRELY NEW PERSON and don't be ashamed of how it happened.  So let us rephrase and start using the terms "medically assisted" or "medically unassisted".  Or why even categorize at all?  Just say you had a baby, the end.
