Dr. Jodi (chiropractor) guessed that I'm having a boy! If all goes well, I should find out for sure in about 6 weeks during the anatomical survey ultrasound.
The nuchal translucency ultrasound (NT) is scheduled for Feb 5th. I hope to see a healthy wiggly baby that day!
I'm determined to have an intervention-free birth (meaning no pitocin, pain medication, IV, artificial rupture of membranes and more). I wish I could have a home birth but my insurance does not cover it. I called many area midwives and the average price for prenatal care and homebirth is $2500-$3000. It's not in the budget this time. However, I found a woman that facilitates hypnobirthing classes in the west valley. I know I can have an awesome natural birth in the hospital. Hypnobirthing techniques are just an added bonus! Dusty is not as excited about natural birth as I am, but I really hope he warms up to the idea as time passes.

What an exciting time for you. I teach hypnobirthing in the UK and often talk to Mum's like yourself who are keen for the natural birth and doing a hypnobirthing course. The husbands tend to be more sceptical! Have a look at hypnosis for birth, the fathers stories. Lots of sceptical husbands who had their minds changed. Good luck and enjoy your pregnancy.
