Benjamin might be a March baby. Some things have occurred that lead me to believe this - not the least of which being the fact that I'm a centimeter dilated. O_o I had to see my doctor today because of a concern I had and after she checked me (and I think she was trying to reach my tonsils from down there) she told me that I'm dilated and that I lost the "plug" in my cervix. Before any of this, though, I was at work and I was telling the two other girls I was working with that I just have a feeling I'm not going to make to April before giving birth. I could still be wrong... it could be weeks before Ben comes into the world. Still, I can't shake this nagging suspicion. He feels a lot lower down than he was, too. I think it might be time for me to get a bag packed for the hospital.
Also, after my first "birthing" class last night I'm pretty certain that I want to try natural childbirth. I'm not going to deny myself medication if it's too much for me to handle but I really want to see what I can do when it's just me, Clyde, and some breathing techniques. I have no doubt in my mind that Clyde will be completely supportive and attentive during the whole ordeal. This might seem completely bizzarre but I'm looking forward to labor.
