Im 25 weeks... In the hospital and will be delivering within 48 hours. Im mourning my UC and my healthy baby.. mourning the lotus birth I planned and placenta smoothie.... not being able to announce the babies gender. Gosh this sucks. 
My water is broken. There is no fluid around baby. Once all the steroids have had time to work then they are stopping the meds and letting me deliver.

: I'll be thinking and praying for you and your little baby.
: But, I hope you can find some of the qualities of that dream in this birth. While you won't be able to birth a giant 10 pounder at home catching him/her yourself, you may be able to announce the gender if you request. You may be able to find yourself with a quiet moment to just stroke your baby through your abdomen as you feel him/her coming closer to you and whisper your dreams for him/her. Maybe you can be the first one to touch him/her by reaching down & feel his/her head coming out. I really hope you get some of that kind of magic at your birth. 
's to you.
