Today we meet with our Doula before the big event (birth) and she gave us some amazing relaxation positions that we are going to be using while I labor at home. I am going to be laboring at home till it is basically time to transition and then going to the hospital to meet my midwife. I chose to do a midwife assisted birth with a doula. I do plan on having as non-medicated birth as possible to bring our son into the world. I know my body can do this and I have to remain strong and be positive about all of this.
If you don't know what a doula is:

I also allowed myself permission to receive any meds that I may need or want should I have to have them. I don't want to make myself feel guilty that I had drugs at my birth if I so choose to have them. So I am keeping an open mind about everything. Which is exactly how you should be when choosing a birth plan of any sort for yourself.
We are awaiting baby boy's arrival!
