Cass - Yeah I've had my share of MS Needed IV fluids once which is a big difference to last time. I'm happy to say its seems to be settling now (touch wood). I just seem to be battling the nausea more than anything. I have a box of Ondanzatron which I've been take half tabs of when I feel I need too.
Well looks like I've got myself a birth photographer... For free!!!! I messaged one photographer cause she does great work but she hasn't done any births before so recommended another woman who also hasnt done a birth but offered to do it for free I just have to pay for travel!! So I'm feeling pretty good about that.
Im not having much luck finding a midwife to support me for the birth though. I've sent 5 emails to midwives in the area and only had a response from 1 so far saying no. So I guess I'll just keep pottering along and hope someone else replies.
I'd really rather have a Midwife there, mostly for DP's sake, but if we can't get one then so be it I guess.
Mrsbaj, I haven't seen BOBB, but I'd recommend the Face of Birth, since it essentially deals with HB and the maternity situation in Australia. The BOBB to me seems more like it points to a system we could head towards if we are not careful, but thankfully our maternity system does not yet do it quite so badly. FOB was quite emotive for me too, because it dealt with women and their individual stories.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with watching both! I'm trying to remember to get online to watch the BOBB on YouTube, apparently the full version is now available.
Aimz - there are many wise women in here. Some of us just happen to pick up on what they say and come along for the ride.
