My first choice to have my son was at home or at a birthing center. However, insurance is tricky for #1 and #2 the closest birthing center was in Savannah, GA which is WAY too far away! I'm so glad you had a great midwife. She definitely knew what she was doing. Also, my son breastfeeds on demand and boy is he a chunker! I am not one for strict schedules anyway, so like you I can relate to the schedule thing...Joel has started to sleep about 8 hrs in the night (he is 7 months today) I am finishing up an eBook on The Psychology of Natural Childbirth.

I was fortunate enough to have a midwife at a birthing center who was so wonderful. The more I learn the more I appreciate the experience she gave me. WIth her help and my willingness to do everything I was told, and I guess luck, I had the biggest headed baby born at the center, without tearing! Silly thing to brag about, but I think it was all thanks to my midwife. On another note, I can't stand when people say they are breast-feeding, but on schedule, and wonder why their kid isn't gaining weight. Most failure to thrive is related to strict scheduling and demanding infants sleep through the night. My pet peeve. I felt like I was nursing 24/7, but you do what your baby wants! .-= Angelia McGowan I always learn alot from your posts!
