As I got out of the shower after work today, that was the question I asked myself. I guess I have been so preoccupied with my growing belly, hips, boobs, and thighs, that I forgot about the other things I read earlier in my pregnancy that would happen. This mainly being that your nipples are going to get darker and you will be able to see all of your veins - seriously, my body looks like it could be a road map...my veins are sooooo visible!
I had my 6 month checkup today and got my belly measured for the first time. Everything looks great according to the doctor and I am right where I should be.
So my big news today is that I have decided I want to try and do a natural unmedicated birth. Call me crazy, but I want to have some control and be an active participant throughout labor. I have decided to just accept the pain. A woman's body is made to endure childbirth without medicine and I think it will be a very empowering experience if I can do it. This being said, and never having gone through birth before, I am going to still keep an open mind and listen to the advice of my doctors. Annnnnd, if the pain becomes so bad that I feel as though I am suffering and going to die, I might just give in. I guess I will have to play it by ear, but I do want to try my hardest to go natural. In the end all I really care about is that I have a healthy baby. And yes, I still want to be in a hospital just in case anything goes wrong I will already be in the hospital.
