Eudora’s Birth Story – The Finale
In my last blog post, I'd left off with the news that our birth story wasn't going to be the perfect VBAC delivery. There would be no successful natural child birth through the power of the Hypnobabies Home Study course. Sure, I was in labor, but it wasn't exactly going ri...

38 Weeks Pregnant and Crabby
Warning: this is not a pleasant post. I hate being pregnant. I seriously do. This is my third baby, and I have not enjoyed a single pregnancy. Really, it's a necessary evil since I've yet to find an incubator that will grow my kid. Other than me, of course. So by the t...

35 Weeks Pregnant and Crazy Dreams
I'm finding that 35 weeks pregnant is having some effects. I don't suddenly feel amazing or feel awful, but 35 weeks means that birth is getting pretty eminent. I'm actually 35 weeks and three days, so my daughter is due in 32 days. Which means that she could be here and ...

Fourteen Weeks Pregnant – Really?
As of Thursday, I officially hit the fourteen weeks pregnant mark. Maybe it's because I haven't been having much happen in terms of prenatal care, or maybe it's because I'm so darned busy with Norton that I don't have time to dwell on every little change that's happening wi...

Supportive Husband and Pregnancy Stress – Gratitude Project Day 8
This morning, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I have reason to be grateful for my wonderful, supportive husband. I was pretty freaked out and upset about not being able to get a midwife. I was certain that I was going to end up with a repeat cesarean, whether ...

Repeat Cesarean and Accepting Defeat
Apparently, my chances of having the VBAC delivery are dwindling. There are three midwife practices in Prince George. They are all booked up. After my craptastic appointment with Dr. T, I have little hope of getting a VBAC delivery from an OB/Gyn.
I really, really didn...

Graphic Images Make VBAC Delivery a Little Scary
I'd been thinking about attempting a VBAC delivery. Actually, no, we'd decided that a VBAC delivery was going to happen. I was torn between having a repeat c-section to avoid the trauma of birth (my first childbirth was just horrible) and going for VBAC delivery to avoid the...
