After what feels like an eternity, we have finally decided on a homebirth!
I have posted here about everything from the difficulties at my old OB's office to the financial aspects to basic questions about homebirth, and it seemed to take forever to make a decision, but we feel very confidant and excited that this is the path to take!
I have already met with the midwife and she seems wonderful and has come highly recommended. In fact, I was talking to someone yesterday who was in labor for 30 hrs, stuck at 9 cm for hrs and hrs, with another midwife. The midwife we will be using came to her and was able to do something to get her unstuck right away and she described her presence as a "breath of fresh air."
We are going to an OB I like one or two times to get an u/s but that is it.
We are very excited and relieved to have decided . I am looking foward to restarting prenatal appts- it will have been two months. (Don't worry, I have been taking good care of myself and keep an eye on myself)
I feel like telling the world, because we are so excited, but I am afraid not everyone will be so supportive. So, I will be telling a select few. But posting it here is like telling the world, so I feel better!
