Introduction

I am 20 weeks pregnant. I am from Baton Rouge, but after living in Dallas for 9 years, have found myself living temporarily in Baton Rouge again. I am feeling frustrated about the natural birthing options here and would love some resources!

What is your interest in natural birth? (Are you interested in having a natural birth, meeting other people who have had a natural birth, working with natural birthers?) Are you looking for hospital-alternative resources?

I am currently seeing a doctor at Woman's but really don't want to have a hospital birth. I am considering a home birth or birthing center. I definitely want to use a doula.

Are you expecting now? Have you already had a natural birth experience that you wish to share? Are you a birth professional looking to network?

    gentian violet

    "Anyone have any info on safety of using gentian violet DURING pregnancy vs. monistat or diflucan? My dr. seemed fine with it, but I want to be sure. NOT wanting to take diflucan while pregnant (or really at all!)."

    homebirth question

    "Most of our family doesn't know about it. My parents are supportive, just nervous. My dad said he might have a heart attack but he was just kidding :) The rest of the family might think I'm nuts, but oh well!..."

    Recommendations?

    "Dr. Dickerson IS awesome. You don't run across many dr.'s like him. Very open minded and kind. He seriously apologizes every visit because he's worried I've had to wait. I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 or 10 min. I just laugh!..."

    homebirth question

    "I completely agree. I feel safer at home and I know that most transfers are calm and not a rushed emergency. I guess, in my mind, I just need to know what situation/s would potentially end badly at home...."
