    Watching her give birth to our daughter. No drugs. Just natural child birth (in a hospital).

    Years later, discussing childbirth with her (now) 20yo daughter (my step daughter), when asked why she did it that way for all three of her kids, she simply said it was something she wanted go go through, to feel connected to the experience of having her kids.

    Awe and pride don’t even begin to explain what I felt (and still feel) for my wife.

      I really would strike out the no drugs part and also the natural birth. For some women it might work, but others are going through hell and some are even dying. There is no need for that and I think there is no shame in taking something to relieve the pain or to get a C-section. Follow your feelings and try to follow the doctors advice (if possible). Birth is not a simple thing!!!

        No judgement here, and my wife has always said she never judges how anyone gives birth.

        Question was asked. I answered. That is all.
