Insane I know TTC again. It wont be until we have moved but what do I need to do NOW to make sure me and dh are in prime baby making states.
Ive started temping already to get in the habit.
Im scared of more premmies but I guess nothing can avoid that.
I really want a homebirth but eith a 25 weeker plus 2 c-secs its going to be hard to get.
Which brings me onto freebirthing, I know the risks can be great but I know it can be magical too. What would we need to think of re: homebirth vs freebirth?
Chances of a ob or midwife lettinge vbac?
So much going through my head.

If you want a homebirth and are willing to pay for a decent IM, I'm sure somebody would take you on. You've had healthy, term pregnancies too, so that's a plus. Homebirths are expensive, but it is worth spending the money for a good midwife IMO.
As for freebirthing, I can't really comment too much on that. I don't personally agree with intentionally freebirthing, since time in memoriam women have birthed in the presence of or with the assistance of a knowledgeable woman. With the concerns you just raised in relation to complications, I'm not sure why you'd take that risk? Better off finding a good midwife you trust and gel with and birth at home.
For TTC, just the usual - get on a vitamin, especially folate, eat well, hubby eat well, look at your finances, especially of things are tight right now and work out a rough budget (DH doesn't work right now, correct? So maybe him applying for jobs?), hubby also eating well and on vitamins of you wish, quit smoking if you do for both of you, cut down on drinking if you do for both of you...charting is good. Just the same as you've done for your other children I guess. Good luck TTC, I hope it's an easy conception for you, and a complications free and term pregnancy with the birth you desire
Thanks PZ he got offered a really hood job but since we have no idea where we will get accepted for a house hes in the maybe pile.
The only reason a freebirth would cross my mind is because nobody would take me on with the twins and I felt to out of control at the hospital, since they didnt believe i was in labour, realised a few hours later i was 7cm dialated and still did a csec despite my wish for a vbac. They made me feel like i didnt know what i was talking about and without a csec my babies wouldnt be here. Im not going through that again.
So when we get pregnant Ill search high and low for a IMW i dont care how much we pay. Although hubby isnt working we are comfortable still.
Pre TTC run down
