Dr. Sears' ...Thank you for the recommendations! Dr. Sears' book was one I also made note of and I might read it next. The Fines are supporters of Dr. Sears' approach so they are all part of the same constellation. I think you would enjoy the Fines' book although based on your blog and the decisions you've already made, I think you know most of what they talk about anyway. ;-) You are the second person to recommend the Ina May childbirth book so I think I will have to read it. Best of luck and peaceful sleep! Glad to know I'm not the only one with nightmares. Well sometimes they are nightmares and sometimes they are dreams just about being on a very challenging and difficult journey.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-27036033582886038692014-07-22T09:12:25.250-07:002014-07-22T09:12:25.250-07:00thank you for the recommendation!

I tend to worry about things so if I felt I had to follow "rules" or a "schedule," that sounds like it would just stress me and baby out.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-31244253612371642542014-07-22T09:11:16.357-07:002014-07-22T09:11:16.357-07:00thank you! yes it is - feeling her wiggle around I...thank you! yes it is - feeling her wiggle around I'm always in awe of the little life in me.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-38605135313354327222014-07-22T09:10:36.166-07:002014-07-22T09:10:36.166-07:00I like the title already!

I think it's because I feed her so much during the day! <br /><br />I take a really laid back approach to parenting (sometimes I wonder if I'm too laid back!) I don't do schedules because for me, watching the clock is more stressful than going with the flow.<br /><br />I read bringing up bebe and I liked that book. I think that style of parenting is more similar to the way I was brought up and the way I want to raise Paloma.Gypsy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13026496787029080243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-69994575072236465552014-07-21T17:36:00.343-07:002014-07-21T17:36:00.343-07:00Congratulations on your surprise pregnancy - what ...Congratulations on your surprise pregnancy - what a blessing!Breathe Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513783056593377296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-41084070262943014152014-07-21T14:06:45.745-07:002014-07-21T14:06:45.745-07:00Hope your OGTT comes back looking good! I really e...Hope your OGTT comes back looking good! I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on the book selection out there. I have not read Conscious Parenting, but I think I'll add it to my list. I just blogged about all my nightmares, so I love that research shows this might mean an easier, happier birth. I do struggle with anxiety and one way I try to refocus it is by reading lots of positive birth stories. I highly recommend Ina's Mays Guide to Childbirth as half the book is filled with birth stories. My favorite pregnancy book is The Pregnancy Book by Dr. Sears (first edition-I haven't read the updated edition) as it covers quite a bit about emotions and is not all about what you shouldn't do or what can go wrong.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622377397195134361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-16326002071484380852014-07-21T14:03:27.166-07:002014-07-21T14:03:27.166-07:00I'm starting to read "Mindful Birthing&qu...I'm starting to read "Mindful Birthing", will let you know how I like it in a bit.

I took my three hour earlier in pregnancy and my one hour part was really high and the third hour was really low, so I am going back in a few weeks to repeat. Thank goodness it is controllable.
