I still want to birth natural. There is just something about it for me. I have always admitted there is a line and a limit, but if my mom did it so can I. To be totally honest I watched my sister give birth and it scared me so bad I wouldn't let my husband touch me for months. <BR/><BR/>I have also considered birthing at a birthing center but decided not to because of my insurance incentives. Now that I have my birthing plans all set, I guess I need to work on getting pregnant:) Thanks for always helping me know I am not alone.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198112707521116341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141992421300999312.post-63737458228755850882008-05-22T09:35:00.000-07:002008-05-22T09:35:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945614336014023969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141992421300999312.post-24935571811302203652008-05-21T12:43:00.000-07:002008-05-21T12:43:00.000-07:00aware, informed, empowered - mama bird. go with yo...aware, informed, empowered - mama bird. <BR/>go with your guts {and a big chunk of your heart} when charting this course.Lovely Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16824437494448106263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141992421300999312.post-12259616508836736882008-05-21T12:21:00.000-07:002008-05-21T12:21:00.000-07:00Kris,I feel the same way ( I am due Oct. 6th) and ...Kris,<BR/><BR/>I feel the same way ( I am due Oct. 6th) and am planning on going natural. The comments I have received have made me not even mention my plans unless someone asks, and even then I down play it because I just don't want to battle or hear all the stories.<BR/><BR/>As for your birth plan, you should do what feels right to you. You are the only one who knows what is right and no one should hinder what you want. <BR/>I first saw an OB and then I decided to switch to a midwife because I felt that is what I need. <BR/><BR/>It is pretty amazing how controversial and heated the opinions on birthing can be.Bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562823088623211622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141992421300999312.post-66719068149063419002008-05-21T12:06:00.000-07:002008-05-21T12:06:00.000-07:00As long as your doing what's right for you, that's...As long as your doing what's right for you, that's all that matters! Why do people get so caught up in the way people give birth? Who cares!? As long as the baby and mommy are safe, it doesn't matter how the little one comes out! I know it will be an amazing experience for you and it's even better that you have a very experienced sister to help you through it. :) Sisters are the best. I'm so glad you're doing it how YOU want and not listening to what others have to say about it. You will be so happy you did!Jennie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08581910715535990303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141992421300999312.post-82996649410216174232008-05-21T11:49:00.000-07:002008-05-21T11:49:00.000-07:00P.S.

I am so happy to hear that you are doing what you want.<BR/><BR/>The birthing experience should be one that a women desires and no one should judge if you decide to be in a hospital, birthing center, or doing it at home. It is our choice and it is lovely that we have it! <BR/><BR/>Have you wanted the documentary the Business of Birthing. I see you have the picture. I haven't watched it yet but have heard from many I must.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690176485145114395noreply@blogger.com
