@loveless wow that's crazy!! thanks for sharing. will you go to 52 weeks? will the baby have a doctor
and it's funny you mention about twins or boy/girl what not. I have thought about that and I feel the baby is a boy but I do wonder if there are twins however in the end it doesn't matter. there's this one woman who had ultrasounds and doctors told she was having one baby she looked like she carried only one but when she gave birth surprise she had twins. what happened was the 2nd baby was behind the first baby the whole pregnancy. @rachelirene
it is a personal choice. a lot of which has to do with my perspective on birth. at the beginning I thought I would just have a hospital birth because I didn't know about other options but as I researched and learned more, that perspective took a shift from a hospital to a birth center to a home birth and beyond that unassisted/free birth. I feel that birth is a natural, our bodies are real smart when it comes to carrying a child our bodies know how to birth and the hospital and doctors have their place I don't believe that place is in birth bc to me birth is not a medical situation, most doctors treat birth as such they see it like an illness assuming something is automatically wrong from the get go and you have to prove that everything is "normal" and fine. and from that point there's so much intervention- all those tests involved throughout the whole pregnancy that inhibits the baby's and the body's natural journey and it's hard to say if there are complications if they would have been there in the first place without the intervention. the truth is when it comes to birth doctors don't know anything they base everything off of numbers and statistics doing so makes them treat every birth the same when it is impossible for every woman and baby are so different what may be the case for one will be completely different to another. now I'm not bashing doctors, in the event birth does become a medical situation thankgoodness the doctors are there, and there is totally acceptable reasons to undergo certain tests or have an ultrasound whether based on family history or a feeling. and for me that's where lies the difference and my perspective. a doctors place should be strictly medical and if a birth/pregnancy is going as it should and there's no rise for concern then a doctor isn't needed. @rachelirene
wow I could never not see a doctor. what if there's two or whatever the boy and a girl or how do you know what they are
I take prenatals and no I have not had any ultrasounds, originally I thought I would and I liked the idea of having a picture but after reading a part in Sacred Birthing a particular factor stood out to me then after much research I decided I didn't want any ultrasounds unless there was good reason that something may not be right. throughout this whole pregnancy I've listened to what my body tells me @rachelirene for the most part I've had an easy pregnancy it's only at this stretch that I feel all the discomforts a lot of women talk about and this last week has been the toughest for different reasons
do you least take your prenatals and have you seen the baby
oh I'm not seeing a doctor or a midwife if I was it'd be a different story. I was seeking a midwife for a while but each one I spoke with told me the same thing "booked in November" I started feeling stressed about not finding one in time and I felt very in the dark about free/unassisted birth so I started researching about it and the more I learned the more I felt myself leaning towards it then eventually I made it a choice to have a free birth instead of an "if". that decision made me feel so much better and meant to be. =) @mam426
haha definitely thought he'd be here sooner but I'm not rushing @xomerimanxo
I don't think I've ever heard of someone going that long. you're a trooper. lol. :p
yupp! that's embryonic, gestational I'm at 45 @mylittleprincess
@loveless well I hope I don't have a baby hiding behind other baby
