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! 😔
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
@steffanapolous - lol Doug didn't have to even take time off work he just was a big bitch about going to anything. But it al worked out and he was great
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
*doula. Idk what my phones auto correct was trying to spell lol
I never did any classes. My midwifes and duola were amazing
9 more days for me! How many more days for you mama bears ❤️
Pregnancy is so much more painful for me this time. 😢😢😢

Why does she love him more than me 😩😩 I think he loves her more than me too lol
Doctors today praying they tell me I dilated more and send me to l&d so they don't have to induce me :) !!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
@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.
