Found this other survey that's more of a one time deal, thought maybe some of you were getting as bored as I was with the weekly one.

About the birth
Home or hospital birth?: Hospital

Who will be in the delivery room with you?: Chip and ONLY Chip.
Will you breastfeed?: I'm really hoping to.
Do you think you'll need a c-section?: I hope not!!
Will you cry when you hold the baby for the first time?: Probably :-)
What's the first thing you might say to him/her?: How can you even plan something like that?!?!
Would you let someone videotape the birth?: Never! Perhaps baby's first hours after, but no way... I think I'd only like to experience that once.
Do you find it hard not to tell people what names you have/are considering when asked? For some reason, I feel guilty for not giving the info, but we are not sure and don't really want the "oh, my neighbor's dog is named that" or the like, so we are keeping our options to our selves. Besides, we really think we need to see her before truly deciding. I do laugh when I over hear my mother-in-law tell others that "they aren't telling us the name..." I think she thinks we are hiding it from HER...
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to hear that I am not the only person in the world considering the "natural" option when it comes to birth. Most of the ladies in our class looked at me like I was crazy when I said that I think I want to avoid the epi. if possible. We CAN do it!!
