I've decided to go the route of having an unmedicated birth and people's reactions can be so mean. Telling me I'm not capable and that everyone changes their mind when they go into labor, and that I'm being naive. I am mainly hearing these things from women whom have never had a child and men. Is this normal? I don't understand why people have such an opinion especially when they haven't been through birth themselves.

I have no problem with epidurals, my thought is that I really want to try the experience of going without because I think I can. I find the journey inspiring.

I'm at the point where I'm done telling people my plans but that feels so isolating. I'm excited and I have so many questions and no one to ask. Has anyone else has this experience going down this path?
