Daqurie's Unassisted Pregnancy Journal
July 9th, 2003
IntroHi I am Daqurie,
I have been married to Ron for 4 years and I am a SAHM to two children my son Ryan (9/21/97) and my daughter Mickie (1/7/00).
In my previous pregnancies I saw a CNM for prenatal visits and delivered at the hospital. All in all they were not a bad experience. I had no interventions during my actual labors (as far as IV, meds, episiotomies, monitoring etc.) Both of my children were born right around 37 weeks. They were perfect.
When I became pregnant with this baby I had originally planned on seeing the CNM again, I didn't think it was necessary but just the norm. But a few months into my pregnancy I knew I did not want to have another baby at the hospital. I felt so comfortable to have a home birth. The worst part of my hospital births was after the birth :all the infant tests, the uncomfortable stay , the nosey staff, and the risk of extreme illness for my new baby. My dh had mentioned not going to the hospital and I was shocked he would even consider it. I was so happy that day I got on the net and looked for homebirth info, this is what led me to Unassisted Childbirth , this is the first sight I found and I was so inspired. I knew that day God would be with me and I would be able to have a UC.
My DH had planned on having a MW present, so when he asked who would deliver the baby and I said "me" he was shocked to say the least. He had never dreamed someone could give birth unassisted. We have had many discussions since and we have learned a great deal more than when we first started. There has been some emotionally rocky roads with friends and family but through lots of prayer all is well now.
We are on the home stretch now at 31 weeks and we are both very excited for this birth and new addition to our family.
