One of my SILs and I were hanging out yesterday afternoon and I learned something new. So far, she is the only SIL (I have 4) that I have revealed my birth plan to. As long as I remain low risk, I will be delivering at a birth center with mid-wives and would like to do a waterbirth. This may seem crazy to some, and I am okay with that. I just have this huge fear of hospitals and have had very serious reactions to a variety of medications, particularly Demerol & Versed, so I would like to avoid medications as much as possible.
I am not going to push my beliefs on anyone, so don't worry about that. I think every person should do their research and go with their instinct on what they think is right for them. Now if I become high-risk or something happens, I will obviously do whatever is best for me and/or the baby.
I also plan on breastfeeding and cloth diapering. Gasp! When I told my SIL that I plan on cloth diapering (CDing) she gave me a high five. However, she told me that she was quite surprised I would go that route because I don't "seem" like the type.
I find that to be kind of funny, but at the same time, it is a good thing. Cloth diapering sure has changed since my childhood and there are just so many options. My mom was shocked when I showed her all the options and made the comment "what about the rubber pants?" Yes, CDing has come a long way and is a lot easier than it used to be.
