We ...Such an encouraging emotional post Jessica!!!! We are also going to be delivering at a Midwife Group/Birthing Center. I am so scared and excited about the fact that I can go into labor any day now (my 'due' date is Aug 4th). We've been reading The Bradley Method and Ben has been practicing his birthing coach role, as well as the relaxation techniques. I hope that my story ends up turning out similar to yours!

She said during every contraction just focus on getting through that one, just think "I'll I need to do is get through this one." Also, bring the ultrasound pics of your baby. When I got discouraged Aaron would show me the pictures and it would remind me what I was doing this for and get me excited to see our baby!<br />Good luck! I'm so excited for you to get your little boy :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871290373629577048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870908096416937819.post-27057358306419538072013-07-10T10:10:52.200-06:002013-07-10T10:10:52.200-06:00Thank you!

It's such a neat feeling to know that you worked hard to get your baby into the world, and pushing is HARD WORK, epidural or not!<br />I'm so glad that you enjoyed reading it, I was debating whether or not to write about something so personal, but it really helped me to read other women's birth stories and I wanted to do the same!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871290373629577048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870908096416937819.post-52306121523126802772013-07-08T18:41:41.056-06:002013-07-08T18:41:41.056-06:00YAAAAAY!

You will find that as you put the Lord first you strength as a mother will be added and you will be able to meet the demands of this new calling.

I ended up having a C-section with my first, so when I actually had a VBAC I just remember feeling so PROUD of myself! I couldn't believe that I had done what I did (although I got the epidural). This was seriously so beautifully written. You really opened my eyes to what an unmedicated birth is like. So many congratulations to you and I wish I could hold him!Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923738819652949783noreply@blogger.com
