Belly Belly has been a saviour for myself and DP, this is our first pregnancy and we were totally blind to anything to do with pregnancy & birth.

We'd gone into this thinking...do what we're told and make things as easy as possible by taking what ever drugs numb the pain. A homebirth was totally out of the question, I couldn't think of anything more scary or "unsafe".

It's wasn't untill halfway through our pregnancy that I started to raise my concerns with DP that I really didn't feel like I had any idea of what was going on...yes we had regular doc appointments and they monitored the pregnancy well, etc. But they weren't telling us WHY they were doing such and such, or explaining alternatives, just giving us their reccomendations. I'd purchased one fairly mainstream pregnancy book but still didn't feel it was answering all my questions.

So I started doing some extra reading online, purchased some DVD's, etc....became fairly addicted to reading every article posted on belly belly ;p I couldn't beleive the volume of information I might have missed had I not found a site like belly belly.

I feel so much better educated...and so much more confident in my pregnancy!! I'm no longer racked with fear about the labour, I'm excited for it!!!

So getting back to the question ;p YES belly belly has definately opened my eyes to the misconceptions I'd held in regards to pregnancy and birth. I can see the positives on a natural, comfortable labour in a home environment and would consider a homebirth in future!
