i haven't changed out of my pajamas since saturday. well, except to take a shower yesterday but then i put them back on. i feel super tired. i guess my body is extra super busy making a human being.
the doctor's office that i went to on friday that said i had a urinary tract infection and a yeast infection just called to tell me that they just got my test results back and i don't really have a urinary tract infection so i can stop taking the antibiotics that i have been sadly taking for 4 days. i fucking hate antibiotics but they convinced me that there was too much of a risk to the baby if the infection got worse. they scared me into taking that crap and i didn't need it! i am going to stop using the stupid yeast cream applicators too and just take probiotics, GSE, garlic, yogurt. i don't even have any symptoms. and the little bits of bleeding i had stopped on thursday. i am fine. i will take the stuff for the yeast though because it is good for me regardless to have a good balance of lifeforms down there. and antibiotics cause yeast infections. fucking doctors. just tell me the truth.
today i finished reading ina may's guide to childbirth, by ina may gaskins. she is the author of spiritual midwifery too. both of those books are really amazing. it is good to read stories about how birth can be beautiful and amazing and not just scary and painful, and about how a lot of the standard hospital procedures interfere with the body's natural ability to push out a baby.
in case you didn't know: the ass sphincter isn't the only sphincter. the cervix and vagina are also sphincters. with that in mind...
"optimum functioning of our various sphincters is easier to obtain when we understand how to better accommodate our thoughts to the needs of our bottoms. i often say that our bottom parts function best when our top part -our minds- are either grateful or amused at the antics or activities of our bottoms. it is amazing how much better our bottoms work when we think of them with humor and affection rather than with terror, revulsion, or, worst of all, look away from them in shame. lord knows, we can't turn our backs on our bottoms."
