Childbirth/Lamaze class today with the boyfriend. It was supposed to help me feel more relaxed but I'm just more terrified. Thank god he'll be there for me and we're getting a Doula! 😔

@steffanapolous - I knew she was right because we met for coffee and we just clicked. We talked about all kinda of stuff not just the baby and birth. And we just got along so well it was like we were friends. And her views matched mine and she listened to my concerns about things. Ect. It just felt right.

I just spoke to a doula today. She seemed so awesome, and she's new like yours was! She has some certifications though so she's not totally free but still cheap ($500). How did you know yours was the right fit? @californiahaley

I'm probably going to give birth by myself or with a doula only. I'm not very good with being in pain around people. @californiahaley

Wow! I wonder if I'd have to same luck and be able to find a doula-in-training for cheap. I mean I could afford a trained one but of course the less expense the better! Yeah Ben is the same way...he's so busy and it's like dragging nails on a chalkboard to get him to take some time off and come to a class with me or work on baby stuff...😞 Men.

My midwife recommended mine. And she was free because she's done all her classes but needs to be apart of 5 births before she's certified. But I actually loves her. We still talk. Doug didn't want to do any classes or meet anyone he was a real pain in the ass about it all.

I took the class to kind of show Ben how he could better support me and so I could ask some in-depth questions about the actual process. Everything was fine until we saw the videos of actual birth...I almost fainted during the C-Section one!!!

You had a doula!? We decided today we def need one. Especially since I'm doing a naturally unmedicated birth. 😳 how did you decide on yours? @californiahaley

Religion Conspiracy/Theory

**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO.

So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
