I recently chatted with a woman at an ABA meeting who planned a homebirth, but then had to transfer. We didn't talk about our births that much but more about the continuity of care which was so important to both of us, and a strong reason behind our choice to homebirth.
I love meeting other HB mummas IRL too. I had a few in my old playgroup and it was so lovely to share that with them and really connect.
Just had to get this out with my HBing women, cause you all get it. Took my youngest to the osteo the day and he was going over everything. Asked about the birth and gets to birth weight. 10lbs 6ozs. Oh wow, he says. Really big then. So did it hurt a lot?
Ugh. I just seems really dumb to me. This guy is a father of three and supposed to be pretty crunchy yeah? He's an osteo for pete's sake. Bigger babies don't hurt more?! I was kind of confused at first because labour is labour right? So I said, not any thing more than ordinary. Then I was thinking, well big baby could affect crowning and I did tear when his shoulders came out so I told him about that bit. But on reflection I realise we were just coming at it from totally different points of view and this guy clearly doesn't really understand birth. So don't bother asking questions about it. Humph.
Exactly! I think that was my confusion... I trying to work out the relevance. Which is how I came to his positioning in birth, as that could be relevant.
Do you mean just with the osteo treatment in general? It seemed to go well. My son is 18 months old and a bit bow-legged and is always congested so he worked on those areas. He said he had some twists in his hips, intestines and lymphatic system so hopefully the treatments will help. Back again this week for follow-up.
I've had friends who taken their babies to an osteo and brought home completely different babies.
I wonder if it can affect the behaviours of a 6 year old. DD1 has been horrendous lately with her behaviour and I'm looking at all options at the moment. I'm trying to work out whether its a phase or whether there are underlying issues.
