We didn't have much of an issue with the hep B refusal, so hopefully that will be one less battle for you.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624562593828869419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563725027856203074.post-43785205525490002452010-07-18T13:41:36.934-04:002010-07-18T13:41:36.934-04:00Hi Connie! Let me first say, congratulations on st...Hi Connie! Let me first say, congratulations on sticking to your guns about this process!! It is an absolute disappointment that doctors feel the need to push/scare you into what THEY think is "right" for you and your body. As Lindy mentioned, I was pumped full of drugs with my first because my water broke & contractions never started after the "magic" 12 hour period. You would think for my second I would known how to stick to my guns, but even to have a warm wet wash cloth "down there" at the time of crowning, was made into a big deal by the nurses...??? are you kidding me? (I was also strongly pressured into a epidural VERY early into the labor because i was induced with pitocen) I'm not even into a totally drug free, "natural" birth, but I feel like you have more birthing options available to you at a midwifery birthing center if, as you mentioned, you're not restricted by your insurance or overriding hospital... thats sad...<br />Good luck darling! You ultimately know what is good for you body. You should be commended for being so strong and couragious! =)Gearhart Ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01731178517995054099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563725027856203074.post-89225031357859581342010-07-17T21:00:00.037-04:002010-07-17T21:00:00.037-04:00Thank you so much Lindy for your comment!! Not onl...Thank you so much Lindy for your comment!! Not only do I love hearing from readers, but hearing another voice of experience is very encouraging. There are midwives here but most are connected to a supporting OB, whose rules determine if I can be taken care of by the midwife. I have talked to a couple who would have taken me, but the hospital and the OB they work under both said no... so I just kept calling until I found someone.<br />Wish me luck for the 27th and thank you again for sharing!!Connie Krebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354893800071624099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563725027856203074.post-43611856612866382282010-07-17T15:26:07.172-04:002010-07-17T15:26:07.172-04:00Hi!

Hope you don't mine my comment? with my second child, I opted for a midwife (who are covered by universal health care to us in Canada - including the hospital stay if we desire it)and it was a whole new world. I got to have a say finally! My first child I had so many drugs, equipment plugged into me, procedures that I now know were entirely unnecessary. Very close to a C-Section, but finally didn't have to. My second baby was a breeze. Are midwives an option in your area or your case? I had a fabulous experience. All the best with this delivery. :)Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03727406540217754491noreply@blogger.com
