Can I join?  

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
I'd like to join! I am due March 21, 2007 with my sixth child....I peed on four sticks already and may just have another go at it....I love those two lines! I am considering an unassisted birth this time, had two previous homebirths with a midwife, and don't know why I would pay another $3000 to have someone take my BP, tell me how fat I'm getting, and stare up at my crotch while [I] birth my baby in 3 hours flat and she barely made it in time to see the head crown! My dh is nervous, but willing to hear me. So he gives me the what ifs, and what do I say? You know the standard what-ifs. My only main what if is I tear, usually no more than 2-4 stitches worth, but still, who's gonna do that? I read that someone didn't even bother, and she tore almost to her an*s, and she said it healed better than her first stitched tear did.
That's it....awaiting some enlightenment.

Welcome Sara and Congratulations!

I love your description of what your $3k gets you! There's a great forum here all about Unassisted Birth with tons of info.

Your description of prenatal care is so funny... and sadly so accurate!
Nothing makes my BP rise more than having someone weigh me... ugh.
