Finally started watching this on Netflix today...everyone on my baby board recommends it. Let me just say, I only made it through the first half hour. I'm actually surprised the doctors they showed weren't walking around with devil horns! It was a total lynching of modern medicine. I have had my fair share of terrible OB's and maybe if I had stuck with one of them I'd be more inclined to reach out to a Midwife, but I adore my current OB and I am fully confident in them doing what is best for me and baby NOT themselves.
I do believe, however, that many women these days have a misconception of birth. I was recently told by a coworker that because I'm overweight I will have to have a c-section. Really?! I know plenty of overweight women who have delivered vaginally and did just fine. When I first became pregnant I was almost praying for a c-section because the thought of labor pains scared the bejesus out of me! After looking at some information on my baby board (including pictures) I would like to avoid a c-section like the plague. Also when I first became pregnant I was scared to the point of tears about delivery. Now I'm a little more confident in my body and while I am not at all set on a natural delivery, I would like to hold off on an epidural as long as possible.
On a side note, my Glucose test is on Monday...eep! I also get to see my little man again though since they didn't get all the images of the heart they needed. We will also be starting our birthing classes soon, we opted for the online version since I am back to having crazy hours.
My life right now can't be placed into words...it is chaotic, stressful, emotional, sometimes wonderful...but this is my attempt at describing it.
