I had an epidural for my first son's birth but had the next 4 without any pain meds including 3 homebirths. It certainly hurt A LOT but that wasn't the end of the world. <br /><br />As for eating, I think that it is worth it to spend the money and eat less meat etc but eat local, free range and so on. there are even meat and fish CSAs available in HRM. And you can get awesome cheese locally too:)s.e.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-23091248056929400702013-07-19T16:29:52.211-03:002013-07-19T16:29:52.211-03:00BREATHING IS SO IMPORTANT!

and ...yes exactly!! that was my first thought too.<br /><br />and yay for a positive yoga+breathing labour experience!! I'm crossing my fingers that I won't be the biggest baby on the face of the planet when it comes to the pain and that the breathing will help (also, that I'll have access to a midwife, in Nova Scotia it's pretty difficult to get a midwife... and there are no Doulas as far as I know).Eco Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693080137196812405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-1434097125631640982013-07-19T16:19:40.695-03:002013-07-19T16:19:40.695-03:00oh that is an interesting point!!

I had an unmedicated home birth with my third daughter and almost instinctively (as with my other two births) I went into yogic breathing for the active labour phase. It worked so well that when my husband called the midwife to come and I spoke to her she didn't think I really needed her (and yet I gave birth just an hour after she arrived). Yeah, it hurt, but it is amazing how well the breathing helped me through it. <br /><br />While I totally agree with being healthy and making good choices prior to being pregnant and while pregnant, I too dislike all the guilt put on mothers because they are baby incubators. Sometimes it feels like a version of legislating women's bodies that is going on in the US.

In other words, if you have to choose for budget reasons or other reasons, go organic, or free range, local etc on cheese and meat first. right now you can get local berries and tomatoes without the extra pesticides even if they aren't certified.s.e.noreply@blogger.com
