What's the best way to have a natural birth in a hospital?

Question

I just watched The Business of Being Born. Even before watching it, I knew I didn't want any epidural or any pitocin or anything like that. I just want a natural birth. I'm having my baby in a hospital, and I'm 36 weeks pregnant. Should I refuse pitocin and things like that? What do I do to have an intervention free birth? PLEASE HELP💙

Answer

If you don't want an epidural I would refuse pitocin cause that will kick your contractions into overdrive.  But if you're not contracting regularly on your own or dilating your doctor may recommend it to get things going.  Just let your doc know you're going natural.  You shouldn't have any issues.
