i, f22 am a mom of two baby boys, one is 2 years and the other is 3 weeks. i strongly believe in freebirth. iβm what you could call a βcrunchyβ mom. my first son was born in my home bathtub, no doctor present. only sister and husband in the room. i caught my own baby, and everything went very smoothly. but my last pregnancy, and birth, was very rough. only because of my family though. for context, my sister is infertile. it would be almost impossible for her to get pregnant. and she doesnβt like the idea of a surrogate. i told my sister i was pregnant during the second trimester, in front of my entire family, she begged me to not only watch, but catch my baby. i immediately shut her down. but my parents are enraged. understandably, because birth is something she will never experience. but it would be very traumatizing for me to have another person pull my baby out and hold him first. when i went into labor, i only told my husband. he watched, and the birth went smoothly. but when my family found out i actually didnβt let sister catch the baby, they went crazy. calling me a selfish brat, a every other offensive name under the sun. AITA?
Ok, so I have been reading a few BattleTech books, and a couple have been saying that βFreebirthβ is an insult while βFreebornβ is not. Could someone please explain?
