Linda,
I just love your response. I usually refer to normal births being *drugfree*.
 I think the medically society softens the reality by using words like
*sleepy*.  They are drugged and the difference in the newborn is drastically
different. Maybe if women visually saw the difference, they would react
differently to taking drugs in labor. This is the reason I show the video,
Delivery Self Attachment, when I lecture at a local university. It is
powerful to see the difference.
