2 week wait..

The 2 week wait.

Probably THE most frustrating time while TTC. I am so impatient, it's quite sad really, ha!
I have already done a few early pregnancy tests, all negative thus far. I would only have concieved a week ago so I'm jumpting the gun a bit, but like I said, I'm impatient. How I waited for labour to spontaneously start for my kids I don't know! I am now waiting until next monday, if I concieved when I think I would have, I should realistically get a positive.

Hopefully.

I bought Emergency Childbirth written by Gregory J. White, M.D. amd am studying it in detail, and am researching the topics in the book mentioned, such as breech births, excessive bleeding, body part other than head presenting, baby born not breathing. I feel quite confident in dealing with these issues, knowing how much TIME I would need in the event of an emergency is very helpful, some are not a life and death problem but do require either a cesarean or assisted birth so I won't have as little as 3-10 minutes to get help. The book makes it clear that it's rare for such problems to occur, and that the best thing to do if you're 'stuck' and can't do anything is to 'do nothing' in case you cause more problems.

This book, was highly recommended for freebirthers to get their hands on. I would also suggest this book, not only because it has very simple directions but because it explains NORMAL birth so it is easier to determine when things are not normal. I have many more books to get, most are more for when I want to start studying to become a midwife, and because I find these kind of books as interesting as many people find the 'Twilight' series.

I am getting really excited about everything, I can't wait to get pregnant again. I can't wait to feel a baby move in my womb again and I can't wait to give birth again. These 2 weeks are killing me, but at least I know once I am pregnant - be it one month or many months from now, these 2 weeks will feel like nothing.

I also, can't wait to share my news of the pregnancy, It should be interesting as there are a few people who have an opinion on when I should be having another baby...not all positive... but it's our decision, and that's what really matters.

Peace, Love and Light.
