pregnancy and dreams

[BitsyNaceyDog]

On a sidenote, how have you been feeling??? Also, are you planning on finding out what you are going to have?

We are planning on finding out, but the Doc. has pushed our big ultrasound date to the first week in November (I will be ~26 weeks).

I've felt pretty good for the most part.
We definitely want to know what we're having. We meet with our midwife tomorrow for the first time. We've talked to her on the phone and we really like her. I'm both excited and nervous. We hope to have a home birth, we definitely feel it's what's right for us. For the most part I don't think our family is too keen on the idea, though they won't say anything to us about it (thankfully).

I've obviously never been pregnant, but I already have vivid and weird dreams now. I can't imagine what they'll be like when I am pregnant.

I think its awesome that you are considering homebirth. I just watched a video the other night that my sister-in-law lent to me, (unfortunately I can't remember the name of it). But the emphasis was definitely on natural birth (no meds, no c-sections) and an emphasis on waterbirth. I would consider doing a homebirth, but I really like my Dr. and so for my first, I am planning on having a hospital birth, but with waterbirth therapy (they don't let you actually give birth in the water, but they let you labor in it).

I had more dreams also - no water dreams though. I recall giving birth to kittens The funny part is that it felt quite normal and I was not surprised and was quite proud of my kittens!!

Interestly enough - as my children are now having babies - I have recently started having some similar dreams....giving birth myself and baby related dreams.

I love reading that some of you are considering home and'or natural childbirth. My three were born in this way at a time when it was not common or encouraged. DIL Chris (chrangharris) will soon deliver in a home-like setting with the big water tub there for labor. I believe this way will be so much more comfortable for mom and on baby. too
