Pleasant surprise

I have been telling my friends about my plans for an unassisted birth, specifically to talk to people who are friendly before facing having to have the same talk with people who may be less likely to give me the benefit of the doubt. For the most part, men seem more scared of birth than women, and are a lot more likely to think it's really insane to birth at home, much less unassisted.

Except my friend T. I mentioned wanting to go unassisted, and his response was that it was awesome, and he'd never want to see any future wife of his get an episiotomy or c-section, and then asked if I was going to have a birth tub for a water birth.

I was just floored! Let's hear it for men who are educated about birth options!
