Getting so close and I am not that brave!
I am finally almost there!!! I cannot believe it and in the nick of time. My fingers and hands are numb from swelling, my feet are huge, I have cankles where my ankles used to be, I am craving sweets like no tomorrow and I am weepy. Needless to say I have had enough!!! 37 weeks and counting down to the end.
On my main topic for this post, I am so sick of people making comments about my Midwife. My whole family and a few others have made comments about the midwife being safe, how brave I am to have a midwife and go through this naturally. I am not brave!!! Lots of women have Midwives because they want more individualised care and a more personal and natural birth expierience. This doesn’t make me brave at all. SO WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO ACCEPT AND UNDERSTAND.
Birth is a very personal expereince and I have chosen a different route for myself than others, I would love to be able to tell people to keep their opinions to themselves and have you can have your baby your way and I will have my baby my way and there isn’t anything wrong with either.
My belief is that in 10 years all healthy women having normal pregnancies will have midwives and only women with issues will see OB’s. It’s only because people don’t take the time to learn about midwives and the care they provide which is so so so wonderful that people say ignorant things about them. I encourage all pregnant women to read and educated yourself before they choose a care provider that way you will know what to expect.
Oh well thank goodness this whole preggo thing is almost over and soon I will be holding my little Isla Bee in my arms!!!
