Things I want to try, but probably won't get to this time.

Cloth Diapers. I know it's super cheap and saves you money, but the fact that Ill be going back to work anywhere from 6-12 weeks after she's born means I probably won't get to do cloth diapers. My husband will be the one watching her when I go back to work (He works from home), and while he supports most of my hippie ways-he's made that pretty clear that he's not into that. So maybe with baby # 2 and if I get the opportunity to stay home Ill give it try.

Incapsulating Placenta- Okay, people are probably officially grossed out now. I admit, Im kind of grossed out myself, but Ive heard from so many women that it helps with PPD. To me that makes logical sense. So many women go on medication for this very problem and what better remedy or match could you get then your very own placenta. There isn't a better match. It's made for YOU! Anyway, I'm actually still looking into this option, but based on my cooking ability and gag reflex.. I couldn't do it myself (Not that you have to cook it, but just theres a whole process of doing it.) Which means I'd have to pay someone to do it and well.. it's pricey. Had I thought of this early I might have been able to budget and save up for it. I still might try and see if I can, but it's not my top priority. Plus there are other ways of helping with PPD anyways.

Water Birth- Okay, I dunno...Im totally 50/50 on this. I think having a water birth would TOTALLY help with pain management, but something about the whole like getting in and out of the tub and having to get dressed and undressed and so forth just seems like a really big hassle and burden. It might be worth it just so that there isn't so much pain, but I dunno. Maybe my brain is just conditioned to think that giving birth should be on a hospital bed .  My mother in law is going to be with me when I give birth (she has had 8 kids all natural) and I feel she will be a great asset to helping me achieve what I want out of labor.. but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing a water birth with her there for multiple reasons.
