21 Weeks-Natural Birth....
Little Emmy is kicking a lot more lately. I believe she is laying sideways across my stomach, she feels like she is in the same position as Makayla was, and she was sideways for a good seven months. I haven't gained any weight yet. With my girls I seem to get lucky, and not gain as much. I am thinking of doing a non epidural birth. I am not one to get all non drug or water birth kind of person. I believe firmly there is a reason for modern medicine. More than anything, I just want to see if I can do it. I almost just want to prove it to myself. I don't know how committed I am to the whole idea, I really wouldn't feel less like a woman warrior for getting an epidural...I am just curious. James isn't very supportive, as in he laughs every time I mention it. I hear you need to have a very supportive husband if you want to do it. But...as I get closer to delivery we will see how I feel. Here is me at 21 weeks 5 days.

All your babies are walking now!!! Emmy should be a cinch. Maybe you'll even have Evan potty trained by then, and only one in daytime diapers. Wouldn't that be heaven?
ReplyDeleteI tossed around the idea of natural child birth for Carter. As I did my research and watched a class, I realized that the husband or "Coach" is a huge asset to your success. That is why I knew, if Craig wasn't onboard, I wouldn't be able to do it. Craig didn't believe I would follow through with it and he didn't want to attend a class and watch videos of random women giving birth. If James fully supports you then go for it! If not, I think it would be really hard to do it alone. I was dialated to a 7 before I got my epidural and I think if Craig had helped me relax and breath and destract me I might have done it natural. But as it is... I paid way too much money for the pain killer!
