How do you plan to give birth?

[Rafa5188]

Hello to all, I'm 26 and 23 weeks pregnant. I'm in love with being pregnant, soreness and all. But I hope to have a natural childbirth, with candles, dimmed lights, music and hubby by my side. Plus, I want to be sitting upright when my baby comes. (Do NOT want to lay down!)
I'm totally at ease with giving birth and have absolutely no fears. How do you all plan your big welcoming?

I'm probably going to have an epidural when I give birth, not because I'm scared of natural birth, but the fact that I have pain tolerance, just not high tolerance. It would possibly make me pass out, because I have dealt with several pains, but nothing like giving birth. I'm probably gonna have people saying I won't pass out, but I beg to differ. Seeing a little person pop out is very scary to me, and the mothers who explain the pain let me know for sure I don't want to feel it. Although I'm terrified of needles, I might as well face the fear. Lol

I have used a mirror with both of my children and plan to with my third. I believe being able to see them coming makes me push harder. Plus being able to watch is super cool!

You have to take charge and do what u wasn't unless it harms your child.

Oh that sounds nice.. I don't think my medical or finances could cover that but it sounds dreamy. My first childbirth experience was a nightmare and they kept making me lie down and it was VERY difficult. I was young about your age. This second time I plan to take charge and make it more pleasant. I'm still very early so I have plenty of time to do some research.
