Natural water birth
Anyone else hoping to have a natural water birth? What have you done to prepare? I recently met with a new midwife and was asked this question. I wasn't happy. It kind of threw me off, I guess. She asked what phrases I have come up with that I want them to repeat to help me because I can't just decide I want to run a marathon and go for it, I need to prep and train for it. I was like wtf? I'm not like that, I do best left alone. I'm not into the fucking cheerleader thing and I will want your ass out of the room if you start that crap. I'm not a people person, I'm very quiet and I don't like people in my face. Especially when I'm uncomfortable and in pain. I'm going to need calm, quiet, and my husband. I know that I don't want a needle in my back and be stuck laying in the bed. I feel like that's enough for me to say I'm gonna do what I need to do to get through it. Of course, I know that things can go wrong and be out of my control and I might not get what I'm planning for. I am aware. But for now, I know myself, I know what I want and I'm all set with these phrases because it's not for me. It just upset me because I had just met this woman and it felt like she was already telling me I couldn't do it. The midwife I usually see has never made me feel that way. She's been supportive and never questioned me like that. I'm sure she didn't mean it negatively but it felt that way to me so fingers crossed she's not the one there when I deliver.
