What an interesting story, I felt like I was going through it with while reading your blog, you are very strong indeed and your little boy is gorgeous!
Awesome. Thanks for putting that all out there for us. Even though you want to burn the plan, I like it because it has a lot of things I want on mine. I've read and heard enough stories about plans going out the window that I don't think I'll be crushed if my desired med-free birth has to be tampered with. I almost didn't read your story after you said it was scary but I'm glad I did. I think it's good to read real stories and not have some perfect situation in mind when who knows what will happen.
Congrats on your little guy and on making it through! He is precious.
Thanks for sharing your story. I liked reading your birth-plan just to see how one is constructed. I want a lot of the stuff you had in yours.
Its good to read how things can change since we don't really get to control anything. Your story is wonderful in that it prepares the reader for the unknown and lets us know whatever happens is fine as long as you get a healthy baby at the end of it.
Congrats on your LO!
