I've gained 10 pounds in one month.
Ten whole pounds.
Thats pretty scary to me.
Anyway, I've been reading a book called Pushed. Its really got me thinking more about the kind of birth i want to have.
It talks about women having little to no say in their labor process and i really dont want that to be me.
Doctors administer Pitocin,Oxytocin and other types of medication meant to speed up the labor process often without the patients consent.
They cut epistiomys without even asking.
They induce labor without it even being necessary.
These kind of things scare the hell out of me.
Like i wasnt already scared enough, Now i have to worry about watching the nurses and doctors every move.
But im glad i do know these things now. The books very informative and its important for every woman to know her rights.

You should totally read The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth. With Cole, I had a pitocin, cut without asking kind of birth. I took control of my labor and delivery with Luke. It was SO much better. I know you'll have a wonderful experience, because you're preparing and educating yourself, and so many women don't!
