It's been a rocky path this year. After losing my mom to lung cancer, I thought that nothing was going to get better. But, a month and a half later, I learned that I was pregnant. At first, I was terrified, since it was not planned, and I didn't have my mom there to help me like I did with Alex. But then, I got some of the craziest news. My baby was conceived just days before I lost my mom. That alone was a sign.
So, with my first, I planned to have a natural child birth. Unfortunately, that didn't go as planned, due to my lack of research and resources. But this time, I have a doula (which I didn't know about my first time around), and have done lots of research on The Bradley Method and natural pain management techniques. And I still have 5 months to go, so there is lots more research to do!
If anyone has any advice on different childbirth methods, please leave a message in the comments section. I would love to hear what others what to say, and about other women's experiences.
Awesome advice, ideas, recipes, and crafts for you and your kids!
