Yoga and Midwives

I went to a prenatal yoga class last night at Zenana spa. It was really comforting being in a room full of big bellied women. The class was great and I’m going to start going regularly. There were people there up to 38 weeks. There was lots of sharing and caring. It was really nice to be out in the world with people. The working from home business has been really getting to me lately. It’s so dark and cold outside and that just adds to the gloom. When I was sick, I stopped going to the gym. Now I’m better and I need to start making the gym a daily priority again. It helps so much with my mood. I think it helps me feel better physically and emotionally. Now that I’ve had a prenatal yoga class I might sit in on the regular class at the gym and just take it easy. I’m starting to feel more confident that the baby isn’t going to just pop out accidentally.

Today we meet with a midwife to see if it’s a good fit. If all goes well, I want to have a home birth. I haven’t had very many friends who’ve had home births so I feel like I’m in uncharted waters a bit. But I’ve spend a great deal of time reading and watching home births so that makes up a little bit for lack of real world experiences. I love my OB/GYN so I hope she’s understanding. I haven’t brought the subject up with her yet.
