That is wonderful news!<br /><br />I just got back from Hypnobabies Instructor training, most of the women there were former Home Study moms like me who were becoming instructors to bring it to their areas. It was great for me with Eva's birth.<br /><br />http://www.hypnobabies.com<br /><br />I don't think there is an instructor in FL, yet, but you could do the home study if you are looking for a preparation method. <br /><br />I think I remember that you read the Hypnobirthing book in your first pregnancy, but Hypnobabies is a lot different and uses the same tools and level of hypnosis used when hypnosis is used for other medical/dental applications for pain control/anesthesia.<br /><br />Have a wonderful homebirth!Mamaseoulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536683374417960813.post-1349843162322477102011-03-21T02:14:01.719-04:002011-03-21T02:14:01.719-04:00Yea!

I also got an ultrasound that was with the vaginal wand. Thankfully I am not particularly squeamish and although I'd never met my OB my mom knew him from the hospital so he made a bit of small talk first. Overall it is a very strange practice.Elita @ Blacktatinghttp://www.blacktating.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536683374417960813.post-56614407246370204712011-03-16T19:59:03.051-04:002011-03-16T19:59:03.051-04:00Congratulations!

Later weight gain slowed so by the end it was average gain overall. Stripping down for the OB? I just don't understand it. Is it thier way of putting you in your place? My private OB only asked for pants off last visit for cervix check, otherwise just fold down so he could palpate belly. Much more comfortable and you get to keep your dignity.

It works! It's especially maddening because I have a handful of "real life" friends who are pregnant and all have managed to lose weight the first trimester. Thankfully my midwife just kept saying to do whatever I had to do to feel good the first 12 weeks. We'll try and manage the weight with lean protein and lots of leafy greens from here on out.Elita @ Blacktatinghttp://www.blacktating.comnoreply@blogger.com
