There is a midwifery right next to Kenneths work, and I asked him to grab me pamphlets the other day. He forgot π but the next day he went in and talked to someone and they let him know they have weekly orientations that are a prerequisite to making an appointment! So I'm going to that tomorrow. I live in an apartment so my idea of a home birth is not going to happen, but at least a birth center will be just as nice. I'm avoiding a hospital at all costs because I do NOT want my first pregnancy at age 22 to end in a damn C-section that gives me a giant scar! (Not shaming those who have had necessary C-sections, or have opted for one over a vaginal birth, it's just not for me!)
5 weeks, 3 days today!

@raquely yes they do, and some even work with hospitals so they can be there to support and help you as long as things so not go wrong.
I'm glad you felt so comfortable and safe! I will feel comfortable and safe with a midwife.
Women have been giving birth for a very long time before all these fancy machines came out. We need to start trusting that our bodies will know what to do when it's time.
They're very well trained to understand the female body. If you're not progressing or if the baby heartbeat skyrockets, it's clearly in distress and needs some help getting out. This rarely happens when we are left to our own devices when giving birth. Hospitals like to rush you and push medicines that start contractions before the baby is ready and it leads to distress and therefore a C-section.
That's really good! I'm glad you didnt have any complications!
Haha awww dang! I really hope everything goes smoothly for me. But I know emergencies do happen, and I trust the midwives will know when it's time to move me over.
Mine was an emergency c section because baby's foot popped out of me ππ
