no IV?
Hi everyone! I'm new here. I used livejournal/this community years ago when I was pregnant with my son and it helped me so much. I'm pregnant again now - and I DON'T want to have a similar birth situation that I had with him. Honestly, I'd prefer to have a midwife but they're essentially illegal here. With that said, I want to talk to my ob/gyn about what I want the birth to be like. It makes me scared because he(along with all other doctors here) doesn't accept written birth plans. I'd REALLY prefer not to have an IV and to be able to move around as I chose... but I'm afraid he's going to tell me that's not possible or the hospital doesn't allow it. What options do I have if he says that?
