Were you feeling really good about your decision to have an unmedicated birth and not get an epidural...

...but then people started telling you that you’re crazy to forgo the epidural?

Have you tried your best not to internalize that, or become afraid, but it’s starting to erode your self-confidence?

Now you're wondering “Am I naive to think I can give birth without an epidural?”

Are you worried about what people's perceptions of you will be during your birth?

Concerned about how you might behave or noises you might make?

Don't be!

Stephanie Larson, Dancing For Birth™ Founder, says,

"Birth is a normal physiological process.

It proceeds best when it is instinctive and when you are uninhibited.

The moves and sounds you make are an awe-inspiring part of your birth process.

Be open. Be primal. Be loud.

Think of it as dancing your birth dance and singing your birth song—and go with it!"
