to think Mila Kunis planning to have a natural birth is not newsworthy?

[brittanyfurlan]

I really like Mila Kunis, she seems like a nice and down to earth person.

It's the Daily Mail I'm taking issue with. Why is a celebrity choosing to have a natural birth worth reporting on?

Are we suppose to be impressed that even celebrities opt to have natural births?

what janey said really

Does everything have to qualified by saying "for me"?

She didn't say "do it right, not like all the other women doing it wrong" either, did she.

Saying she wants a natural birth - normal. Lots of people say that.

Saying she plans to use a midwife - weird. Most people have too.

you know she might get to having her baby and scream for every drug going she has never had a baby why is this bothering you so much chunder No i am not going to have an epidural I want the full experience is what she is really saying, I really dont care how women push their babies out or how they get out for that matter women are free to chose which pain relief or not they want, she isnt trying to make anybody feel inferior

I think having a midwife is unusual in America, though entirely run of the mill in the UK.

If you're going to address me, at least get my username vaguely right

I think you misunderstood the tone of my previous by the way.

She doesn't have to qualify her opinion at all. It's her opinion. Why does Mila Kunis, an actress, saying x is the right way to do things such a bother to you? I find that quite odd. She isn't a doctor or a midwife espousing this opinion.

For a lot of Americans the idea of a Midwife is really rather hippy / dippy and their concept of a 'natural birth' is different to ours

and ther is noting wrong with that\

I was going to have a natural birth. I ended up with pethadine, followed by an epidural followed by an EMCS.

Just saying.

Who is she? I'd imagine the piece is not remotely newsworthy because she isn't even famous imo

I am only going on my experience of some MW I have met here, some are wonderful and normal and balanced but some insist on natural birth no matter what....
