don't apologise, I'm only learning too! I am just passionate about changing
the way "pain" is viewed and talked about!

Kirsten,
I actually have Sarah's birth articles on 'Natural Third Stage' and
'Hormones Are Your Helpers' and I have also written an article on Natural
Birth emphasising that labour pain is good pain - it's here:
http://bellybelly.com.au/articles/birth/natural-birth if you would like to
take a look and provide any feedback or if there's anything I am missing.
Perhaps I can include a little more detail about the purpose of pain, I only
lightly touched on it.
I am still quite early on in my 'education' and learning, in terms of
promoting natural birth, I am treading very carefully and slowly in order to
try and make sure I send the right message, especially to so many women on
my site, particularly to those whom have not even heard of the real benefits
of natural birth. I was one of them - young and naïve with not much support
at all with my first child, I thought birth was something the medical
profession controlled in order for things to be safe, but following an
unexpected, beautiful natural birth with my son seven months ago, I've spun
on my heels and I now know what direction I want to take with my life.
It seems these days things have changed so much that you are seen as
alternative if you mention you are even attempting a natural birth, let
alone homebirth! The only reason I actually decided to write my own article
was through inspiration I have been building from working with Rhea Dempsey
in her 'Birthing Wisdom' Birth Attendant course. There are so many women out
there with similar experiences like me, so even if I can only pull at the
heart strings of one of them, I will feel like I have done something
wonderful. So much to learn, but my intentions are for the best :)

What about including the "purpose of pain"? That pain during the birth
process is normal and instead of being feared, should be seen as positive
and worked with!
There are some great articles out on that, including some work from Sarah
Buckley.

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if someone could please point me to some recommended
accurate, up-to-date resources on pain relief in labour, as I am
writing an article on BellyBelly (to accompany the natural birth
article I wrote for this month) about the various forms of current
pain relief and the real risks for mother and baby. I already have
Sarah Buckley's article on Epidurals but I would like to cover all
methods of pain relief in the one article. There seems to be a great
deal of out-dated information people are
getting hold of and discussing them across websites (particularly lots of
american info), so I would like to provide something more reliable and
hopefully local. I'd like to write about what medications are contained in
the forms of pain relief, side effects, any stats and general information
on
how they are applied etc.
Any personal comments or experiences would be gladly accepted also.
Thank-you in advance!
Best Regards,
