Surprise!

I just recently found out I'm pregnant! And the plan to move to Mexico is still on! So i will be having our next bundle of joy in Mexico, and for this pregnancy I'm bound and determined to have a natural at home birth.


With my first pregnancy with my DD i couldn't feel a thing... I was so hyped up on medication to help me sleep through labor, that my nurse gave me three hours before starting, and an epidural that my nurse said i needed 'because i wasn't strong enough to handle the pain', that i couldn't enjoy the feeling of having succeeded in one of the first steps to becoming a mother. So right after birth, though i love my DD with all my heart, i felt detached. Of course that changed over the next hour i held her in my arms, but i still regretted my whole birthing experience. Which is why this time around I'm want to have it all natural!


We will still not be leaving for Mexico for another 6 weeks, so until then i will be doing some of my OB visits here in the states. Then my next task will be finding una partera (midwife), in Mexico. And though i thought this would be easy, its proving rather difficult. Mis suegros (my in-laws) say that no one uses them anymore, and so there are none. But you bet I'm gonna have to have a look when i get down there! I'm a very stubborn mommy lol


I will be using this of course as a way to help others who may like information regarding having a baby in Mexico, based on my experiences, so stay tuned.


And if anyone that reads this has ANY information on a midwife in Puerto Vallarta, please Please PLEASE let me know! It will be greatly appreciated.
