Im 38 weeks today and while I'm so excited to meet my baby boy soon, I'm scared. I admit it, I'm scared. As a first time mom, all you hear is the horror stories. The hospital protocols, the procedures, the waiting, but most of all the pain. I support healthy moms and babies, medicated and unmedicated births, and the right to women's decisions. My goal is to have a non-medicated birth. I'm a realist, so I don't exactly go for sugar-coating the truth, but I don't necessarily want to go off of worst case scenario and negativity either.
