This is all about what makes you guys comfortable and where you feel safe. Having needed 2 C-sections, I do not recommend them! That being said I have an amazing doctor who takes time with his patients and really puts their best interests at heart. And yes as people say, ultimately a healthy baby is all that matters, the journey matters, it affects you and what happens once the munchkin arrives....that I know to be true! I love what you wrote.

I wish I'd had a midwife with my kids because I got virtually no information and really had no idea what was happening at any given time. And I can cope really well when I know exactly what's going on and why. You definitely have the best of both worlds and I can hardly wait to meet that little man! Amen, sistah!

Sounds like you're in an excellent headspace to take on all the stuff that's coming up. Or coming OUT I should say :) You go girl!

Amazingly she never left my side. The doc had to do alittle more agressive manuvering down there and the midwife was right in my face helping me emotionally and physically get thru it! The team was amazing! I had an intrathecal (sort of a temprary epidural) for both babys. It gave me the little break I needed so I could come back like a tiger! And Paul was the first person to hold both the boys, HE CAUGHT! And CUT!! Good luck to you! If you need any breastfeeding support or cloth diapering advice just give me a shout!
