I had never had a problem with him until I did something that went against the "standard practice." You never really know until you start to question someone. I'm just glad I took my plan with me rather than wait until I was in the hospital in labor. Thankfully, this midwife I talked to said that they do these kinds of births all the time. It's pretty standard for them. Basically, I just want as natural with as little intervention as possible - no pain meds, no injections, no circumcision, no labor augmentation, no pitocin, no bath (the vernix is good for his skin and immune system), delayed cord clamping, and for him to stay in the room or have a family member with him at all times. Yes, it's unusual in this day and age, but it isn't unheard of or unreasonable. She was completely supportive of it. Now I can just relax and enjoy these last few weeks. :-)
