i think every woman who has the option should experience the pain that comes with childbirth, im also NOT anti pain relief... but epidurals should not be made an option of a healthy labour, they actualy are quite dangerous and their are other types of drugs that can help you through it.

This is absolute lunacy. Mother/child bonds are formed based on hormones, scent, contact and nurturing, not on how much agony and strain the mother was in during the childs birth. A stronger mother with less strain put on her body and mind will be in a more fit state to have the energy to car for a newborn. - and I must stress that the important factor in bringing a life into this world is realising and focusing on the responsibility of raising the child well - not how much pain you feel when it arrives.

It would be a man that said this wouldn't it... let's see him give birth then see if he has the same opinion! As for 'teaching new mums responsibility,' what about the new fathers? Do they not need to be taught responsibility? Dad's do not go through the pain of giving birth however still form bonds with their children.

when I had my 3rd son I went in to be started as he was late (no change 21 & still always late) I went to the ward got booked in at 6pm, at 6.10pm I was checked & all hell broke loose, I was fully dilated!!!!!
they managed to get me to the labour ward & at 6.32pm he was born!!!
There wasnt time for anything, to me there was no differance from the other 2 with them I had gas'n'air didnt do anything except make me ill.
It was 3hrs & 2hrs of agony with 1 & 2 & half hour with 3rd.
think I was a very lucky lady to have relativly easy births.
It should be up to you how you have your baby.

trust that comment to come from a man when in all a man thinks his job is done when that 4 second fumble has ended but the comments that beverley turner made are more shocking when us normal people who use NHS hospital's to have our children and don't have the options to use fancy hypnobirthing or reflexology woman who give birth should be praised for having to go through labour or in some cases caesarean's and our pain doesn't just stop when we had the labour the rest of our lives are in pain with the sleepless nights when our partners pretent to be asleep at 3 in the morning and its left to us to deal with a colic crying baby
