Well, I met with my midwife a few days ago and I'm so excited to have this baby right here in our house! She measured me and did a fetal heart rate right here on my couch! She also checked the position of the baby and apparently she's already head down! One thing the midwife said got me wondering though...she said the baby had the heart rate of a boy! Uh oh! If she comes out a he I don't know what I'll do!
The midwife will bring a blow up birthing tub with her and we'll set it up in the living room. I'll labor however I feel most comfortable and when it's time to push I'll get in the tub and deliver. I also have a doula coming to assist me through labor. Finally, a birth the way I've wanted it the last two times.
I'll keep you all posted as time goes on!
