After all the struggle with getting pregnant I was a very happy pregnant person. I enjoyed having my baby bump and the attention it got me. At first I could not figure out why everyone was always opening doors for me (even strangers) and then at a pre-natal exercise class another pregnant mom was talking about how doors were being opened for her as well and as I looked down at my bump I put two and two together.
I read a few books to get ready for baby and my husband an I took a class at the hospital where we would deliver. At the beginning of the class the nurse had all the pregnant moms go around and share their doctor and how they wanted their delivery to go. I shared with the groups that I wanted to try and use no drugs for my delivery. A little bit into the presentation the nurse went over all of your drug options. My husband than raises his hand and asks Why would anyone not get an epidural? I was now questioning if we were on the same page with our birth plan. The nurse's response was I am not sure, but I guess it is the same as why would anyone run a marathon. I have ran two marathons, so maybe now my husband understands. Although I later found out that just because you have a birth plan you better still keep an open mind about it.
