Pregnant in America ~ My Story

I just watched, "Pregnant In America", and learned a lot from the documentary. I also wanted to share with you my story.

**I hope people will listen, because I don't want anyone to go through what I went through/still going through. I'm a huge advocate for natural childbirth, and will continue to support mothers on their journey of having one. I'm hoping to complete my DONA Doula training by 2013. **

I am 99% sure Toxemia is when pre-eclampsia turns into eclampsia...just a fancy scary sounding name for it. So with toxemia you have moved past the "pre" stage and are now eclamptic.

@3MenandaLady06 I am doing much better now so glad to be done with the hospital lol. My wound closed up on its own and my muscles are starting to heal so I can walk normal again haha.I would love to have a third and maybe even a fourth but this experience really scares me away a little bit... its something I dont want to go through again and it terrifies me that Doctors dont take this type of thing more serious.

@dopeKukii Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. I'm so glad you will get the opportunity to get the birth you want! Keep me posted!

@meggyloo22 I'm so sorry to hear about your experience the second time around. You poor thing! How are you recovering now?! Crossing my fingers you can attempt a VBAC with your third, if you try for a third. ;)

This vlog made my day!! After watching this documentary yesterday, I was in shock and my heart is very heavy with the thought of a woman being Told how she should have her baby which usually only benefits the doctor.. I'm am pregnant with my second and will definitely be doing more research on natural child birth! Thanks for sharing!
