I've been lurking for a while, enjoying the stories following your pregnancy. Thank you for sharing the experience!

Have you considered using a doula for the birth? As well prepared as we were for our DS's birth, once we got into the LDRP room, we were a bit overwhelmed. For DD's birth, we used a doula, and she was absolutely wonderful! It's like having a Bradley instructor with you in the room. She in no way diminished the experience for DH, but in fact worked as an assistant to both of us. I was able to have the unmedicated, intervention-free birth I had hoped for.

Congratulations and good luck!

Maureen
