natural births are awesome, but please do your research and have a back up plan. my aunt had this natural, no medicine, la-dee-dah birth which was awesome. she felt empowered, she kept in touch with her regular doctor through the pregnancy and had a few regular check ups that didn't involve any of that fancy ultrasound stuff. she kept it as natural as possible while being safe. she bought the birth kit, went into labor on her due date, was in labor for a few hours, and at the last minute, something went wrong. and she didn't even realize it. she felt like the birth was going fine, she was in pain and all, but she felt fine. but my uncle was just pacing, anxious, and insisted upon going to a hospital. he even threatened divorce at her, he felt so wrong. that's how he described it later. something was wrong. so they had an ambulance come and pick my aunt up and went to the hospital and the baby wasn't doing well and honestly guys, this was a few years ago and i wasn't around and only heard the story secondhand, but basically the end result was my cousin would have died and my aunt could have too. my uncle had some super sense. and the hospital wasn't that close and it's a miracle they got there.

moral of the story: have a back up plan. be at home, do it natural, but be ready to go if you need to.

"I love the Twilight series! It's so awesome seeing young people being into reading. It seems like they are more likely to be glued in front of the tv watching brain-draining sitcoms.

I'll have to check to see if the Pride & Prejudice movie ends sad (nope, it's not my genre of choice to read)....sad movies can make me depressed for weeks."

Yeah, but you should watch what they're reading. No young impressionable teen should read about a creepy stalker vampire who has a doormat mary sue girlfriend who names her kid after the loch ness monster.

And you should try to read better books (like Pride & Prejudice) because what you "love" is weird creepy bad fanfic-like porn that just mistakenly got published.

But I must say, those who just like the smutty aspect of the novel and the fact that it has no plot but acknowledge that it's trash have a right to enjoy it. As long as you realize that what the book preaches (BABIES THAT CAN KILL YOU ARE WORTH BEING BORN! HAVE LOTS OF BABIES! CREEPY STALKER BOYFRIENDS FTW!) is rubbish but still like the whole super hot woman worshiping thing that Ed does, eh. I guess it's okay with me.
