#pregnancy for you 3rd
EDD 7/23/08
where you plan to birth at home
other children/birth stats 2 DD's ages 3.5 and just turned 2.:
Both were hospitol inductions. Pit & epi, no cuts no tears, no trauma.
Both pregnancies I had hyperesmisis and lost ALOT of weight (not having alot of weight to spare to start with either). Both pregnancies I started freaking out about being "alone" during labor, Dh being out of the country or state etc etc.. and got induced on and day after due date.
This time I am having mid-wife led care and am birthign at home. I am hoping the more natural options will help me cope with the HER, the freaky endsttage paranoia, and since I'[m at home I'll be away from meds.
My hospitol births were not great situatiions but not horrible experiances either.
other stuff I'm missing? uhmmm can't think of anything.

My Dp carried my Dd and my turn has been HARRRD-three years of trying, three surgeries, declared "clincally infertile" culminating in two failed IVF rounds, and one Blissfully (so-far) sucessful one.We've already seen a heartbeat. We hope to BF, will be cloth diapering again, I'm anti-vax, and I've no idea what the rest of my life will look like come next summer, right now I work two part-time jobs and go to school-Dd comes with me to work when I nanny, and I work for a paper at night when Dp is home. We are both very active parents.
