I th...Ditto everything TITANKT said word for word! I think a Blessingway sounds very interesting. I would love to participate in your Blessingway, although it would also be in absentia! And I truly hope you have the most amazing birth experience; you certainly deserve it.<BR/><BR/>I'm from the BBC Aug 2004 board. I do not know you in person either, but I love reading about your family and viewing your awesome photographs. You have the most amazing talent! I could just stare at your pictures all day.<BR/><BR/>I got henna tattoos on my hands and feet when I was an exchange student in Tunisia, Africa the summer before my senior year in high school. It was an awesome experience (although quite shocking for the folks back home!), and I highly recommend having your belly tattooed if you can. What a wonderful way to celebrate the coming birth! You'll treasure the experience and pictures forever.<BR/><BR/>Good luck Dawn, I'll be thinking about you these last few months.jhjohnstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556441951844543282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-32091428584838219152008-02-07T08:10:00.000-06:002008-02-07T08:10:00.000-06:00I'm sooooooo glad that you decided to try HB!!! I...I'm sooooooo glad that you decided to try HB!!! I will recommend HB any day to any woman. I highly recommend finding a teacher to at least talk to about this so that you can get a firm grasp at how it's done. I'd love to talk to you more about it if you'd like. Also I recommend Practice any time you can, it really helps to get into the zone when the time comes.<BR/>With the Blessingway, if that's really what you want then how can we give you anything else! I'd also suggest any of your blogger buddies to send in a bead if they'd like one to be added to your necklace! I'd be happy to take care of all of them until the time arrives to make the necklace. Just let me know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589207529509298070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-32594724230146681952008-02-06T21:38:00.000-06:002008-02-06T21:38:00.000-06:00First of all... that IS the coolest pregnant bell...First of all... that IS the coolest pregnant belly pic I've ever seen and I would have LOVED to have seen the delivery nurses reaction, too. Awesome!<BR/><BR/>Second... I think a Blessingway is a fantastic idea. Love it. I couldn't come, but Dawn, if you have one, let me know because I will send you a blessed bead and written blessings for you and precious Port. I know I kinda came in in the middle here and we don't know each other in person, but I have come to care a lot so I would sure want to participate in absentia. (You will still have food, though, right? Because food is really important. *wink*)<BR/><BR/>I hope your delivery is everything you want it to be. Your commitment and organization here are inspired and very impressive.<BR/><BR/>I never had any pretentions to a drug free birth and I certainly didn't do this much pre-planning and thought. I had a high risk pregnancy (I have high blood pressure) and ended up having a c-section 3 weeks early because my doctor was afraid I'd abrupt. I also had intentions of breast-feeding and that sure didn't work out. All through all that I was just so grateful to have had a healthy baby that I didn't feel the need to question or analyze the process too much... but if I hadn't had a high risk pregnancy (and some other factors) I probably would have.<BR/><BR/>Mostly I just wish for you to have a GOOD experience this time, so I do sincerely hope it's what you want... and above all: a healthy, beautiful, fat little Buddha in your arms at the end of it all.TitanKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805861421713635384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34623476.post-62670068275328992732008-02-06T12:40:00.000-06:002008-02-06T12:40:00.000-06:00I would go to a Blessingway.

A teacher friend lent me this entire program after his wife had an unmedicated birth, and another friend lent me Hypnobabies. They are both similar, and I found that they helped me to labor for quite a long time without an epidural. Chloe was induced so I went about 9 hours on pitocin without an epi, and I was fine, even after they broke my water. What finally made me get the epi was frankly that I was just tired because I was stuck at 4 cm after 9 hrs of pitocin. <BR/><BR/>I wish you much luck with an unmedicated birth!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237131795065754244noreply@blogger.com
