Good Afternoon!
I just figured I would write up my tentative plan for my pregnancy/delivery/postpartum.
Pregnancy: I want to see a OB/G, as well as a midwife. Obviously be as healthy as possible. Maybe use the Brewer Pregnancy Diet http://drbrewerpregnancydiet.com/ Exercise, and work as up to a month before my due date.
Labor: I want to have my husband, doula Rachel, my midwife, and my best friend Billie there to help me. I want to be able to walk around and move my hips to help baby get into position.
Delivery: I want to birth at home in a birthing pool. Candles and music, lights low. I'm thinking about using hypnobirthing. I definitely feel labor and birth is rite of passage from maiden to mother. I'm thinking about mother directed pushing. No episiotomy. No cord cutting until it has stopped pulsating.
Postpartum: Cloth diapering of course! Breastfeeding! Baby Wearing! Co-sleeping! (I'm on the fence about vaccines currently-more research on my part must be done) Stay at Home Mom! Meal Planning! Make my own Baby Food! the list goes on and on :)
So that's my plan as of right now. I'm so very excited to get this underway!! The 2WW is already killing me!
A huge congrats to you and your man. I am 14 weeks preg and its so great to meet other preggy bloggers!
