I am also about 5 weeks from my due with my second child and am planning my first homebirth (water birth). I am so glad the Lord led me to your blog (although I can't remember how I got here) it has been such a blessing and encouragment. We are also greatly interested in the Samartian Ministries if you have any additional opinions or information we are eager to hear it. My email is emilyfit@hotmail.com if you have time to say anything. Blessings to you. I have been so blessed by your blog (just so ya know).

We got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time (at 11 weeks) last week at the midwife's. I LOVE that sound! I don't think one can ever tire of the sound of life! I can't wait for the live blogging birth event! I was along for the ride when The Boy appeared and I'm looking forward to riding along to meet his "brother"!! LOL! Yeah!!

That is, UNTIL, I was in labor with my own baby and I was allowed to get in a tub for about 15 minutes and hold the shower nozzle directly over my belly. I felt like I could do the whole thing like that---it felt wonderful and really controlled the pain! Unfortunately, I couldn't stay in the tub and after 23 hours of, let's say, excruciating labor I had an emergency C-section. I am happy about your relative ease with your last few babies. Will the children be around to experience it? You are in my prayers.

And I think, if you guys are at the SAICFF, that we'll actually get to meet your baby!Woo hoo! I like reading about the commonplace activities of my friends' lives! It's not mundane to me. Having hospital births in our city hospital means I don't get the option of water birth, but I've heard good things about it. It sounds very relaxing........to tell you the truth, I never feel like getting up/moving around or anything during labor. It's a very intense time for me and I like it to be all quiet and still. I like to just stay in the bed and stay still......Don't know what that has to do with water births! Forgive my rambling! Leanne in Longview I can’t wait to read about your birth!

I don't like needles. I don't think anyone who homebirths (or goes natural) is a wimp at all (or baby). Praying the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing - can't wait to find out whether the baby's a boy or girl! :) I can’t believe you actually reminded her about getting blood drawn!! :) I would’ve probably kept my mouth shut.

It is my epidural. The other 2 labors went well but NOTHING like when I had the water. (Actually the one was AWESOME- 1.5 hours start to finish w/ very little pain- it was WEIRD! We didn't have time to get the tub filled. Wish they all would be that easy, though I was in shock afterwards b/c it was so fast.) I’ve used water for 3 of 5 labors. LOVE IT! It is my epidural.

Last time, blogging was a fun distraction during labor. I'm thankful that my labors are so manageable these days - I certainly couldn't have blogged through most of my first, but the really intense parts are so much shorter now. It still hurts, of course, A LOT, but at least it doesn't hurt for 7 or 10 hours. Now the really unpleasant parts are mostly at the end. :) Pascale,
