About Me
I am 25 years old. I have a beautiful son, Damien 3/1/2012, with my DH, Shane. I am currently in nursing school, I plan to have my RN by April, 2016. This is my fourth pregnancy. I had a CP and a MMS before giving birth to my DS. We were fortunate enough to get pregnant again with DS within 2 months after my D/C. We stopped trying to conceive again after DS was born so that I could finish school. We began TTC again a few months ago. We were again fortunate enough to fall pregnant fairly quickly.
My Birth Plan
I plan on giving birth in a hospital with the same OB practice who delivered my son. The midwife who delivered my son was so amazing, I hope to have her deliver my new baby, however it all depends on who is on call. I received an epidural with DS and i plan on receiving another one this time. I wanted to use the water tub for labor with DS, however it was unavailable, so I hope to be able to use it this time. I plan on laboring at home as long as possible. My mother and husband went with me to the hospital last time, I plan on having them there again. I will most likely leave DS with my sister. Walking around the hospital room helped a lot with the pain. My delivery was very quick, my husband was holding one foot, the nurse was holding the other, while I was lying on my back. It was a good position for me to push in, I plan on doing that again. As soon as my baby is born, I want to have skin to skin contact and attempt to nurse him/her. My husband will cut the cord again. We have not decided whether or not we will circumcise if the baby is a boy. We circumcised DS, I had left the decision up to DH; however, after a lot of research, I am leaning towards not circumcising this time.
