Trying to get pregnant

The last time my husband and I decided to get pregnant, we had "intercourse" once without protection. Then, we chickened out and used protection the next time we "did it".

Well, we're ready to get pregnant again. We started "trying" just days before he left to go hunting (2 weeks ago). Well, I'm starting to be super sensitive to smells, my asthma has come back, and I feel bloated all the time....oh and my face is filled with acne.

I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. If I am, it will be the last child I have (intentionally). So I want to do all the things I never got to do with my other pregnancies. I would like to not tell anyone that I am pregnant until I am at least 3 months along (except for my husband)...I don't know why, I guess it would make me feel like a celebrity with my entire family on bump watch. I would also like to get 3D ultrasound and possibly even have a natural childbirth. I also want to go into labor naturally. I always get started with pectosin. This time, I want the drama of water breaking, grabbing our bags, speeding to the hospital...and all that.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the natural labor thing. My friend K. did it for 8 hours and it looked very painful. She was 3 weeks overdue ( I know, I know....but she is raised in a weird household where it's okay to let your baby poop inside the woomb and swallow it....therefore, risking it's life)...so anyway, the baby was too big to come out so they did a c-section. I have never had a c-section and I never will.

I don't understand the whole "opting for a c-section". I guess that women don't want their vagina being stretched out...they would rather have an ugly scar on their belly....and yes, it is ugly. Every c-section scar that I have seen makes the womans lower stomach fat go to un-normal places. So, if you can have a vaginal birth, you should. Let nature do its thing....babies aren't meant to be cut from you. It remindes me of Charles Manson.

So anyway...there's my two bits for the day. Wish me luck on baby making!
