Katya,
I echo everything Debby said, including the part about exchanging email
addresses if you want more information. I, too, had a drug-free birth
with my son. He was my first baby, and he came out weighing 9lb 1oz! :)
He's 6 months old now, and I remember his birth with fondness. Let me
know if you want to hear any additional first-hand experiences. Good
luck,
Apryl
