On Friday I was 42 weeks pregnant...I'm 'term + 16' now, as the midwives like to call it. They like you to be induced at 'term + 10'...even this language makes you feel like you're much further over than you should be, when you're only actually considered medically overdue once you pass 42 weeks.
I have told them I won't consider any form of medical induction until I am 43 weeks...and then I'll only 'consider' it. I feel incredible & healthy. I'm full of energy, sleeping well, no aches or pains. My bubba is dancing in there, especially mornings and evenings. They tend to be still during the day, probably because I'm so active.
I am researching constantly, keeping myself as informed as possible, so the midwives trust my reasoning. The midwives have been great and are doing their best to ensure I have the birth I desire. Though they are slightly uncomfortable with us wanting such a hands off approach. We haven't listened to our babies heartbeat through a doppler, we have only let them listen through a pinnard. We turned down the 12 week scan and only went for the 20 week, as we wanted to be sure the placenta wasn't low lying as we are birthing at home. I have been told the risks of our approach every time I've sat with a midwife. If I hadn't have been researching I would have definitely been scared into an induction by now. But, the risks they speak of are so low, especially in a woman having such a healthy pregnancy. This approach isn't right for every woman, but for me this is exactly what I needed. These 4 books have been so informative & full of evidence based research. If you want to take control of your pregnancy and birth through informed choice, I would suggest starting with these...

This was a big problem with the last serious relationship I was in. He just didn’t know when to quit and would always get mad when I proved him wrong. Probably because I’m a poor winner and had to make a big deal of how right I was. He’s just lucky I didn’t own a confetti gun

These are the conversations we’ll have over and over again. At the dinner table, after a national news story, when someone wants a hug that they don’t want to give, with friends and in community. So important yet a heartbreaking reality as a parent of four daughters. If we educate our kids about body autonomy and respect of others, I believe we can raise a generation of boys and girls that have a different reality. #mybodymychoice #consent #freelygiven #reversible #informed #enthusiastic #specific #wolfpack #mightygirlsfolder
