Hey Madasa
I started my Hypnobabies stuff 'properly' today... I had DH read a script to me about protecting myself from negative comments...I like it so far! And it's nice to have DH involved to such an extent
I just went into the Teen Section and lo and behold stumbled across a 'negative' comment about childbirth...that seems to be the only place I go (occasionally) that I read this stuff in, so I think I'm going to have to avoid it entirely...
Oh well, not a big deal! I'm having to avoid 'negative' shows too, eg the ones about pregnancy/birthing that over-dramatise it and make everything seem problematic and difficult...again not a big deal....The only thing I think I'm going to have problems with are comments from family and friends - I'm supposed to tell them outright to basically shut their gobs when they start talking about birth in a 'negative' way
I'd feel bad...But if it's going to help me have a better birth, then I guess I'll just have to do it!!
I'm just downloading my CD's to my MP3 player, so I'll probably play the first track tonight - I was wondering if it was okay to have DH there with me (I find I can concentrate better with him there) but if his presence helps me absorb the info better, I can't see it doing any harm
He is gonna be there for the birth anyway!!!
Still not sure what to do on the Strep B testing front...I can either choose to have, or not have the test....start taking supplements (immune boosting to reduce the risk of infection) and/or use a vaginal wash when I go into labour, or just not worry about it...
