I've been reflecting quite a bit lately about giving birth. I feel a variety of emotions: joy, satisfaction, happiness, completeness, excitement, anxiety
I have done a lot of research with the help of my two Registered Midwives about this route for child birth. I have been questioned about my choice by several family members, co-workers and friends. Some questions are sprouted from curiosity, others are often rude. I am not usually asked about the safety or the success rate..no...it's usually about my lack of knowledge. I've had someone say to me, "Are you scared of a hospital birth?" My response was simple, "No, I just want a natural and wholesome experience for myself and my baby." To which they replied, "You've clearly never given birth before." I was hurt, this wasn't the first time I've been ridiculed for my birth plan. I don't get a lot of support in this regard, however, I will say that I have received support from a few people. Most people call me crazy, stupid or just plain inexperienced. Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes it is difficult to put the opinions of others aside, I'm influenced heavily by how others view me, I've always been that way. I will not change my plan to suit anyone else, but I can't help but feel that others aren't excited for me because they can't relate to my holistic philosophy. #waterbirth #midwifery #holistichealth #naturalbirth #homedelivery #momlife #nodrugs #doterra #essentialoils

Birth is personal. Not everyone will understand how we choose to welcome our children into the world. Don't feel hurt, you're doing what comes natural 🙌 people seem to ignore that women were giving birth at home long before medicine became advanced. Have a beautiful home birth 👶
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
My significant other hasn’t been to one appt. am I crazy for being bothered about it? I’m already depressed I’m having another baby. I didn’t even want anymore. I feel like I don’t have the support I need.
I am so upset! Went for my 33 week checkup and they told me I have 2 stds! I have not been with anyone other than my sons dad and he says he has been faithful to me I have been crying all morning!
sooo i have my 6 week pp appointment soon....i have never been on birth control nor do i know anything about the different kinds of birth control....can yall help me out?
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...
Good for you! No one should ever tell you what's right or wrong or how to considering each woman's body is different. I feel if you have a back up plan, for example I wanted a natural birth and ended up getting a c section due to no dilation then I say you are the momma and go for it!
