About Birthing Baby Jeremyah

Hello all! Many of you guys have been asking about the birth of the baby, so i will answer all of your questions in this email.

Q: Will you be having the baby in California?
A: No, we are happy to say that since we have been living here for the past 10 months, that this is our new home,and we will be having the baby here in idaho

Q: Will you be coming down to California after the baby is born?
A: We will not be going down to California until the baby is 6 months old (so we will be there for thanksgiving)

Q: What type of birth are you having?
A: We are having a home water birth. (in a birthing home, not ours)

Q: Why are you not having it at a hospital, won't it be unsafe?
A: We are not having a hospital birth for a few reasons, 1. we dont have medical insurance, so birthing the baby will be an outrageous amount of money, 2. we want to have a natural birth (vaginal, without drugs) 3. we feel that it will put less stress on the baby and i, to be in an environment that is under control (rather then having people we dont know in the room), and there are many many more.

Q: Since you do not have medical insurance, how will you ensure the babies health post birth?
A: Well, we will be having weekly check-ups with our midwife, until the baby is 6 wks old, to ensure the proper growth of the baby. Since, we are nursing the baby (breast feeding) we know the baby will get the proper nutrition. also because we are nursing, we feel that the baby will not need to get vaccinated or be injected with vitamins that the baby will get from me, as well as the anti- bodies from my milk.

Q: Who will be there to help you give birth?
A: We have an experienced midwife, that i have been seeing for the duration of my pregnancy that will be there to help with all the medical things. Jon took a 10 week birthing coach class, and he will be the one who will be coaching me through the labor process. We feel that no one else should be there in the room who was not intimately involved in the process of creating the child. We feel that this is a very intimate bonding experience, and would like no distractions of random people, family or friends walking in and out of the room.

Q: Can we visit after the baby is born?
A: Yes! My mom will be coming from May 10th- June 7th, Jons mom and aunt will be coming in the beginning of June, and so we would love to have visitors this summer!
