Chelle,

I can't believe how soon the baby is coming either! I took the

hypnobirthing classes, and I have to honestly say I am the only

person I know in my group of women friends/acquaintances who doesn't

have fear of labor. I feel very relaxed and prepared. The

hypnobirthing is awesome! I do lots of stretching, breathing and

relaxation exercises every day, and am doing perineal massage daily

as well, which is basically just self-PT anyway. =) But the skin is

feeling fairly pliable - stills burns just initially on entry but

fine after that. We have a doula as well to help us out, which is

exciting - she completed her training and has to complete a certain

number of births for free to get certified so we are just paying

basically for her travel expense and a gift on top of that. It will

be nice to have someone there who's been through it before but is

objective and professional (unlike my mother,for example!) =) So I'm

nervous about afterwards, but actually, I am on a wait list to work

with a classic homeopath after the birth - he has treated lichen

planus in the past, as well as other things like candida. I don't

know if I'll be going back to 's office any more - I've tried

everything they've had to offer. I will probably go back to PT.

Although a lot will depend on money...as always. Thanks for checking

on me!
