WEEK 33
Since meeting a midwife around Week 16, I could not stop thinking about my birthing plan. Why does no one seem to worry about it? Don't people plan anymore? What do you mean, I don't have to discuss this until Week 32??!
Here is mine, with the thinking that goes with it.
How?
Water birth. I wasn't so sure about the needle of the epidural and realised it would lower by already-very-low blood pressure.
Pain relief?
Water. I have tattoos, giving birth can't be that bad... Can it?
Where?
Midwive Birthing Unit - where it is natural, sounds lovely and peaceful.
Birthing partner?
Baby's daddy. Who else?!
