So here's where I stand.. I've never dealt with cloth diapers so I have no clue where I truly stand on that..
I truly WANT to breastfeed, but I am concerned seen as how I have chemical depression, and it's part of my birth plan to start on Paxil again after giving birth.. if I knew I could get away with NOT taking the pills, I would be breast feeding without a doubt. I've seen the difference in babies who are breast fed and ones who are not. It's phenomenal!
I looked into home birth, and there's actually a local midwife who helps women with it, although it's heavily frowned upon for plus size ladies (which I am a plus size). I think I will decide on the home vs. hospital after I find out what kind of shape I'm in. The local hospital here has a women's only center that honestly is designed to be more like home than a hospital. They have tubs in the bathrooms for water births, the beds are queen sized so that OH can stay over nights in comfort, recliners, and the baby stays in the room if you so choose. They also offer where you give birth in whatever position you are most comfortable. You labor and deliver in the room you're given. They're gorgeous rooms! Here's a link!
