*wow really?! I well then, I guess all c-sections are the natural ones considering its been the practice since mankind began... But then why would natural childbirth be called natural childbirth then?*

Wasn't hatching was the preferred method before?

In 1913, Adam and Eve escaped from the clutches of the alien overlords. They, like the rest of their generation, were products of the breeding vats.

perhaps because before then there was not even a concept of any other kind of childbirth? what does that make the rest of it tho? unnatural childbirth?

hehehe... I'm passing that along to my doula tho - she'll get a kick out of it! Do you mind my asking what book it is?
