With my 2nd baby I felt that I absolutely NEEDED to UC. Now it seems really different. I just don't feel that same urgency or need to do everything by myself.
Maybe it's because I'm more comfortable with my midwife now? It is my 3rd pregnancy with her. But then again, I had my first appointment today with a different midwife and honestly, I don't think I'd mind her being around either.
I just feel so much more confident that I can express what I need and want during labor, that I can block out any negativity, that I can really do my own thing even if I DO have a professional attendant.
Anyone else get this way?
Really, my UC was very healing for me. I proved to myself that I can go into labor on my own, I can handle myself and my body is completely capable of birthing a baby naturally. So now I don't see the necessity of doing it on my own.
Of course, I still have several months to change my mind
Am I alone in feeling this way or has anyone else switched back to having an attended birth by choice?
