Day 142

[daisan]

I'm getting stronger, putting on weight, all that good stuff. Usually I'm pretty tired in the evenings and can't do much more than eat dinner and read in bed. But last night I stayed up till 9:30 writing a crit for my online writers group, and I actually cooked and ate a whole, real dinner

Have you done any reading about birth? I found that the more I learned the easier it was for me. And knowing more made Clara's birth SO MUCH better and easier than Faith's. If you want, I can give you a few recommendations. :)

Oh, definitely. I've read Husband Coached Childbirth and Birthing From Within, but I fully plan to bone up on the subject once my third trimester gets going. Which books did you like best?

Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. I skipped most of the birth stories, but the other half was awesome. And I read a Bradley method book that was really helpful. I can google the name of it later if you want.
