The
good thing about self-employment insurance is that it has an extremely high
deductible for maternity. So, this time, since we are paying cash
anyways, I get to deliver my baby the way I want to. Let's hope all goes well. For the last 4 pregnancies, I have delivered my babies in a hospital. I still tried to keep as natural as possible. I didn't use pain medicine or epidurals. Each experience improved and the last was as good as it could have possibly been in a hospital. But, I just want it to be more sacred. This time, I am planning for a water birth. I will have a midwife, birth assistant, and Joe. Labor is hard. I cannot lie. It hurts, A LOT. But, I am confident in my body's ability. I think being a woman is so cool. We get to experience something so remarkable.

You are amazing. I don't know if I could do natural. I have always wanted to do a water birth but after having kidney stones and back labor I wanted to die. Good luck! You are brave!
Oh, I probably would reconsider if I had back labor. I think that everyone should do whatever works for them. It's kind of like running a marathon for me. I just like the way I feel at the end stretch.
