Now that we have the all clear for QBN, Dean and I have created our birth plan. It was fun discussing options from atmosphere and relaxation methods to vaccinations and umbilical cords. Our CalmBirth classes taught us about all options of pain management and the benefits of natural birth stood out for us.
We’ve elected for a quiet, personal water birth if things progress normally. Daddy Deano wants to cut the umbilical cord – which surprised me. I’m looking forward to immediate skin-to-skin contact and bonding as a little family. If everything goes well, we hope to call for visitors the next day so Bobbie can meet the extended family.
Of course we prepare and imagine a calm, personal birth – but have to keep an open mind.
