I have been writing and rewriting this post for several weeks now in preparation to Goose's birth however it just never got done. But before I share my birth story I wanted to share what I was hoping for it to be.
Before Birth:
Before Birth:
- I didn't want any restrictions on how overdue I was aloud to do
- I did not want to be induced unless there was a true medical reason that caused myself or Pilot to be put in danger. If induction was necessary I wanted to try natural ways (ex: striping membranes) before using medical ways
- Minimal exams
- If less than 4 centimeters I wanted to labor at home
Labor:
- No restrictions on moving around and changing positions to be comfortable
- Quiet environment, low lights and soft music playing
- Since I had to have an IV I wanted it capped off and only used if necessary
- I wanted to use gravity-enhancing positions to promote decent and delivery
- I didn't want continuous monitoring
- No pain medication offered!
Delivery:
- I didn't want an episiotomy
- I wanted a mirror to watch Pilot be delivered
- Pilot placed on my stomach right after delivery
After Delivery:
- I wanted Hubby to cut the cord
- I wanted to breastfeed as soon as possible after delivery
- I wanted him to room in with me unless medically unable
So that is the extent of what I wanted! I plan to have what actually happen posted on Thursday so come and read it because you will want to hear this one.
