I just was reading an article on how to recognize the signs of true labor and this tought came to my mind. If my water breaks at home my husband will kill me because it will most likely ruin the floors that were not finished properly. I thought it was pretty funny.
somehow my fear of labor has totally disappeared and i am totally looking forward to it. It's amazing how our bodies and minds work and how easy it could be to get rid of fear as long as you have an open mind.
As i suspected I got a big No to my idea to have a homebirth for the second child. Jeff says that I need to be in a hospital in case something goes wrong. He doesn't know that giving birth in a hospital scares me more than labor and delivery itself. There are obviously so many more things thatcan go wrong in a hospital with a doctor that is only taught how to intervene with the natural process of birth.
It's ok I have enough time to convince him and if I can't too bad because i am the one giving birth and I will do whenever the hell i please. When he pushes out a 7 lb baby out of his baby and is planning to breastfeed it for a year he can have a say in the location of birth.
