In fact,she toldConceivemagazine,
I’d like to try a very natural childbirth using visualization and meditation to deal with the pain. But if I’m at the point where I can’t take it, I won’t have a problem asking for an epidural.
Trista tells us,
Thanks, Sarah, for giving me this opportunity to shed some light on the quote that seems to be causing much debate for many of you out there. I’m always sad to see judgments placed on people based on a sentence or two published in a magazine or shown as a bleep on a television program, but realize that the magazines don’t always have the space to go into more detail and that this is a hot topic that has been the cause of debate for many years.
As a student of physical therapy, I actually interned in a field known as “women’s health”, focusing on the treatment of women with obstetrical, gynecological, and urinary problems that often resulted from unnecessary c-sections, so please know that I don’t take this possibility of my own delivery lightly.
When asked about a birthing plan and my delivery in my interview with US Weekly, I explained that although I know some women like to try to plan out all of the details, I find that having no expectations besides completely trusting in my doctor is the best route FOR ME.

Everythingis picked out [for the nursery] and ready to be shipped. I’m a hugeplanner…but even more so I’m a fan of surprises, so my love ofsurprises outweighed it.
One thing Trista hasn’t done, though, is much clothes shopping.
Because we don’t know the sex it’s not like I’m seeing cute little girls and boy clothes and feeling like I have to have it.
One of the main reasons she doesn’t mind? She’s happy to be expecting at all.
It took us a long time to get pregnant so it makes it that much sweeter. It’s my dream to be a mom.
As for coming up with a specific birthing plan and choosing herpreferences for her delivery, Trista says she’s not concerned, becauseshe thinks she may have to have a surgical birth anyway.
