I am not due until October, but I already know I'm going to have a HB with the possibility of a water birth. I told everyone that I am pregnant this week, and one of my friends whom I told is a massage therapist. Not only that, she has had a HB herself last year. She offered to give me free prenatal massages and also come to the birth to be my personal massage therapist/support person. I feel comfortable with her, especially since she has had a HB (only person I know). I am excited about this and feel even more comfortable with my choice of a HB!
That all sounds great! I'm jealous of the free massage therapist/labor support. I'm paying more than I like to think about for a doula who is certified in massage therapy -- that's an awesome gift from your friend!
Re: I am so blessed!
Yey!!! Congrats on being so proactive and positive!
I am planning on a HB too, and since I made the decision, all of my birthing fears actually went away.
Is this your first child?
