Well, I was going to write this whole entry about why I am not delivering our baby in a 'traditional' way and instead we're going to try a water birthing method. I was going to direct you to links of videos online comparing the two different ways you can bring a child into the world, but I don't want to scare too many of you. It's pretty graphic and a lot of screaming goes on...
...but if you want to see the differences: Go to youtube, search "water birth" or "hypnobirthing" or "unassisted birth", and watch a few videos. Kind of scary, but not too bad... there's a lot of love and a little pain, but for the most part it looks relatively do-able. Kind of like taking a big, hard dump. ***Then, type in the simple word: "birth"... and just take a look at all that blood and poking the vag and pulling the baby's head out and intrusive behaviour!!! Ugh... makes me wonder why the hell women go through all that unnecessary pain.
I do not want a doctor's fingers (no matter how gentle they are) pulling my vag and reaching inside for the head... dude, it will come! Be Patient! OH!! and do not put my legs in stirrups, either. Let me squat, lean, stand, sit in water, and be comfortable. This is the baby's time, and not yours.

HA! You are a hippy! Let me tell you water birth is the way to go! I had Griffin in my living room in a birthing tub and it was super duper radical. I got to catch him myself and it was the most magical moment in my life! (well it tied with the first time i held elli in my arms!) i am so happy for you!
