Seven Weeks, four days. Day 56 in the quest to chase our little miracle
Who de fool?
We are!
I’d like to say that i was prepared for all of this… I’d like to say that we had been smart and thought of everything BEFORE we started TTCing, but to be honest we just stopped taking the pill and thought all would work itself out from there… But it didnt!
As you all know we needed help, and that became our priority, we didnt even really think about anything pregnancy related, well i didnt at least, for fear of disappointment later on…
So now that we have actually reached the goal that all married couples hope to reach, we have found ourselves unprepared for the questions that have now risen…
Two such topics came up in thursdays doctors appointment…
- Private or Public – you see in Aus here you can choose whether to purchase health insurance or not, and silly DH & I said “when will we ever need that?” It seems now, we need it! The debate with DH is, is the money worth it? I say yes, due to the fact of personalized care, and due to the fact that we have spend so much getting to this point.. We would never forgive ourselves if we didnt get the best care for our child. DH’s perspective, i could take more time off work…?
- (Ewww) Vaginal Birth or C-Section – So i always assumed that vaginal was the norm… Nope it seems i was wrong, no norms anymore! Apparently now there is a choice, and doctors seem to recommend C-Section… But in saying that, that will only be an option if i go private, and it will cost more… But in saying THAT, again we only want the best for our baby, and what is best for our miracle…?
There are so many things i never even thought we would have to think about… And so many different opinions, i thought it would be nurseries and fluffy toys from here on in, i think i thought i knew what i wanted… It is like this scary, wonderful, magnificent furr ball all wrapped up, and caught in my throat!
Ekkk… How do i want my baby to enter the world? All I know i just want the safest and healthiest way for my baby, no matter the cost to me financially or physically… Now DH and i just have to find the guts make the choices….
HELP?!
