Were you feeling really good about your decision to have an unmedicated birth and not get an epidural...

...but then people started telling you that you’re crazy to forgo the epidural?

Have you tried your best not to internalize that, or become afraid, but it’s starting to erode your self-confidence?

Now you're wondering “Am I naive to think I can give birth without an epidural?”

Check out the DFB blog: https://www.dancingforbirth.com/blog/am-i-naive-to-birth-without-an-epidural

Then join our FREE Dancing for Birth™ Opening Circle and try a class. You'll find community, confidence, and childbirth preparation in each class.

Did you know that you don't have to be on your back in bed to give birth?
In Dancing For Birth™ class we practice many other ways of giving birth, with incredible results!

“Many births take place back-lying in bed, but not for the benefit of babies or birthing individuals…this birth position is used for the comfort and ease of the medical care providers, and because of the routines and protocols of the hospitals. Getting out of bed and dancing during labor is beneficial for the birth process and has been proven to decrease labor pain, increase birth satisfaction, and increase newborn APGAR scores.” - Stephanie Larson, Dancing For Birth™ Founder.

How many weeks pregnant were you when you went int

How many weeks pregnant were you when you went into labor naturally?

Your due date is just an estimate! Your baby's hormone surge signals your body to go into labor. Waiting for labor to start naturally is the best sign that both your baby and your body are ready.

Nature teaches us to trust birth and our instincts. Just like rosebuds bloom at different times, each pregnancy is unique. Forcing open the petals of a rosebud early could damage it. Similarly, induction (forcing labor to start before it begins on its own) carries risks like more painful contractions, prolonged labor, and potential complications.
