today i took the girls with me to pick up some birthing supplies and a visit with a local freebirth friendly direct entry midwife.
first we spoke with her about what supplies we needed, it was nice bouncing ideas off of her, she remembered some things i had forgotten on my list (darn pregnancy brain) and we discussed how to prepare the kids for the birth.

then she showed me some birthpools. i havent decided whether i want a water or land birth. i guess ill just have to wait to see what i want in labor. but i really loved laboring in the tub with eryx.
here we are finding the perfect birthpool. nice and spacious.

after we got the business taken care of we walked around and visited with the doulas, it was so nice and relaxing being around like minded people. it can get so stressful constantly hearing wellmeaning, albeit uneducated friends and family working themselves into a panic over how unsafe homebirth is, let alone unassisted birth. birth is as dangerous as life, no more, no less. this visit was nice and helped me connect back to why i freebirth. im feeling capable, im feeling empowered... i can do this!
