My ds is only 8 months old, and we are only planing to have babies 2 years apart, but I have baby fever already, what can I say!!!!!
With DS I had a full on hospital delivery, was induced, had stadol, and an epidural, all sorts of monitors (internal) and labored and birthed on my back the whole time. I don't need to explain why I don't want to have this expereince again. And my MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL, and MOM were there. TOO MUCH!! I had no tools to cope and DH was trying to keep our families undercontrol.
So here's my question for next time around. I WILL HAVE A NATURAL BIRTH! I want a birth like so many of the beautiful homebirth stories I've read here on mdc. But I don't feel very comfortable with having a homebirth and DH is all for the natural part, but very against the homebirth part. So I would love to labour mostly at home, and get to the hospital at the very end of it all. I would also like a doula to help focus me and inforce a birth plan ( birth in many positions, no intervention, maybe a shower and some food) So is it possible to have a beautiful, peacful, natural birth like the way I described? I know things don't always go as planned, but I'm determined and I think that makes a big difference.
Anyone have any advice for someone trying a natural hospital birth that's peaceful and where I'm in control? Any helpful sotries, tips, etc.?
Thanks MAMA's!
Wish I had thought of all this BEFORE DS. I was just too scared. I guess that's what our modern get what you want when you want it with minimal work mentality brings.
