Which coincidentally brings me full circle to when I found out I was pregnant, squatting on a public toilet in a pseudo-Mexican fast food chain restaurant in DC.
This is my favorite:
When I imagined giving birth as a young girl, I never imagined to be pushing a human being out of me as if I were making a bowel movement, but I guess it makes sense if you think about it. Just PUSH!
This too:
I am certainly hoping my husband gets on a yoga birthing ball and plays me a few show tunes.
This is not my husband, nor does he own a stool from the Keebler elf tree house.
why are you doing it like that? is it better for the baby?
ReplyDeleteIt's easier on the mom, which puts less stress on the baby, and in theory it should make labor quicker because of gravity. It's the way women use to give birth at home with midwives before male doctors came in the picture and put them opn the bed, which is useful only for the doctor so he can comfortably sit on a chair and see in...
ReplyDeleteI totally recommend getting the yoga ball.. It'll make your back feel so much better. Congrats and enjoy the silence :)
