Frustrated
My husband in many ways has been supportive especially during the end of my pregnancy, but in many ways I feel like he's made me compromise things that I felt were important to me and my pregnancy. I wanted a water birth or a home birth experience. He threw a fit and insisted that it was unsanitary and disgusting, so I settled on a hospital birth near my workplace. I want to do placenta encapsulation, he said that's nasty, and no way are you gonna do that. I told him its for me and about all the benefits. I suffer from anxiety and was diagnosed with severe depression years ago, so I really wanted to see if this would work out for me. I also wanted to donate my son's cord blood since the hospital isn't partnered with a cord blood banking system, and all the benefits haven't been proven yet, but I figured it could save someone else's life, so why not give it instead of throwing it away. I don't know. I just feel like he's letting his ignorance get in the way of my health and happiness. What do you think?
