It sounds like you have so much working against you! I don't understand why they want the doula out immediately after the birth. When I was giving birth I had all the attention in the world and once he was out, I was on my own. I don't see why they would care one way or another.<br /><br />"I chose the doctors that I did because I know that they are skilled clinicians." - keep reminding yourself of this. Really, the delivery will just be a memory once you have your baby safe in your arms.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11509124764568535676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998417064636496648.post-46538974471796341992009-12-15T21:09:18.523-05:002009-12-15T21:09:18.523-05:00I didn't have a birth plan either and toward t...I didn't have a birth plan either and toward the end of my pregnancy I started to get really pissed off at my doctor's office (I think the dr saw me a total of 4 times my entire pregnancy and then wasn't the one to delivery me...some stranger was).<br /><br />I think it's great that you have a doula and hopefully she is an awesome support for you. Breathing is definitely the key...that and visualizing contractions as ocean waves...something to deal with then coast over.

I know I did and it was in the hospital and my second pregnancy with the twins was in the OR, but it was just a precaution. I still had natural deliveries for both my pregnancies. As natural as possible. I ended up with an IV for both and in the OR for one, but no epidural and no drugs other than eventually needing pitocin for both to get things moving. I'm still very happy with how they all turned out. My DH's family hates me when I talk to them about how I didn't need pain meds for either of my deliveries, LOL! Yoga breath, baby! It's very powerful!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843760065614670505noreply@blogger.com
