Hello,
I am long time lurker but commented few times. I have been actively lurking since I got pregnant last year. My baby is five months old now.
I want to thank you all for my awesome birth experience. I followed every rule I have read here. Only my wonderful DH was present during my labor and c section. We did not let anyone know until after 10 hours and after I felt comfortable. My inlaws are from india and wanted to come for birth. I said it is not necessary and we got it covered. And BH or bean dipped every time they asked after first time.
My baby is rainbow baby after 10 years and so many people prayed for us in the past years ( fyi we are Christians) and just be caused they pray, some of our friends wanted to be at my birth. I just smiled and bean dipped everyone of them. There were so many requests. Thanks for their prayers but I didn't even wanted my mom during my birth. I know they would guilt trip me, so I didn't say anything. Oh they were surprised (?) when they heard we gave them call after 10 hours. Well it was my delivery and it was my choice. That helped to have a good start with breastfeeding.
I have read so many sad stories in DWIL and I didn't want to be one of them. Yes I read Delivery room drama 1 and 2.
After we got home, I had followed strict rules and my DH is the enforcer. All around it was great and still is, all thanks to you!
