Hi,

I'm in Istanbul, although I may give birth in Egypt.  Is anyone else in Istanbul or near Istanbul interested in natural birth?

We wish! One of the most beautiful cities, I think. Bump for mamas in Turkey interested in unmedicated birth.

Well, I'm actually American, so i don't know if I count. :)  There is an organization that has started here with birthing classes and counseling trying to help women achieve natural birth here.  Unfortunately, there is a VERY high cesarean rate and not much knowledge or desire for natural birth here from what I know.  Hopefully things are beginning to change.
