High risk pregnancy natural pregnancy?

Be

Have any of you been considering high risk and been able to have a more holistic and natural approach to pregnancy and labor?

I’m 9w2d and the doctor today pretty much laughed in my face when I told him I wanted to do things as naturally as possible. I’m overweight and I’ve developed high BP since becoming pregnant. After that interaction I just want to have a home water birth and say F you to that doc.

Sorry for the rant, I’m little upset right now.

You can have whatever you like hun and if your dr doesn’t have the same vision as you, fire his ass find a new dr and move along because he works for you. Of course be willing to be open minded to everything not working or going your way but you should always get a chance. I was temporarily classified high risk but I’m being referred back to normal precautions of just base risk of preterm labor. Nothing as drastic as yours of course but still even the worst cases should have a chance.

I’m definitely looking for someone else. I voiced a concern about losing weight too rapidly. I’ve lost 18 lbs in two weeks and he told me I’ll be fine since I was overweight to begin with. Ughh. Maybe I’m just too sensitive. He also tried to give me the glucose test even though my urine, blood glucose and A1C levels are normal.

I’m overweight have higher blood pressure and am going for a VBAC all at home with a midwife and hope for a Waterbirth. My midwife has me on a bunch of supplements and herbs, started today actually, to see if that will help.
