So this was the first of my once a week appointments- I'm taking Eric with me next week, and then I will have 2 where they check dilation.
I am a little scared of having a full moon baby- my birthday is 2 days after that. I don't think my doc is though:) I asked a couple questions childbirth class had brought up, and he is going to call the instructor about one that I asked, because he said you should ALWAYS be monitored, and she said we needed to ask our doctors for their preference.
I also had started a birth plan- nope, he just wants the checklist done. Well, I'll make a checklist, and add on a couple things on the bottom- my laid back doctor was very stern and business today, I got frustrated.
Not that anything on my birth plan is super important, the biggest ones is the fact that I want to breastfeed, so no pacifiers or bottles given by the nursery, and that I am definitely considering an epidural :)
The epidural- the childbirth instructor mentioned there is a 'light' one, so you have more feeling, but not as much pain. I am considering that option, at least for part of it- epidurals can., I guess, slow labor down, and since I react to meds stronger than some people, I don't want to overdose too quickly- I can always get it upped.
Little less stressed about the whole labor thing- part of it is knowing Eric will be there for me, yet I know he's nervous too. I was scared to be the only scared one- it's not like I have a choice, kind of have to go through with it:)
Did some online shopping today- although I will be waiting until tomorrow to actually buy stuff- looking for nursing gear. I want to get something that is appropriate for the hospital as an option, or right after- like pyjamas that button up the front. So tomorrow, after I get a little money, I plan on hitting up Target and checking out to see if they have a maternity shirt or pj set that will work. Also, some black yoga pants, because I own- none.
