So I’m 25 weeks and now starting to really think about my birth plan! I’ve got a bicornuate uterus so have a good chance of c section. However, baby is currently head down so I’m hoping 🤞🏽 little nug stays that way. Doc thinks after 30 weeks there won’t be enough room to turn again. Either way, I really want to start preparing for both a vaginal and cesarean birth ASAP!

In general, I get bad feelings about medical and pain interventions (pitocin, epidurals, etc) and am thinking I want to avoid them if possible. HOWEVER my husband has a totally different opinion and thinks I should just plan on getting an epidural no matter what because he doesn’t think I’ll be able to handle the pain 😞. When he told me that it made me really sad and honestly like I couldn’t believe in myself either. He says he will 100% support me in whatever plan I want but will still “voice his opinions.” I kinda want to say, “well, its my body and I don’t give a shit about your opinion.” I just feel like if I continue to let him share what he thinks I should do it will hinder him from being 100% supportive. If that makes any sense..?

Has anyone else had this experience? Do you think I should tell him to keep his mouth shut (in a nicer way, lol) and just support what I want no matter what?
