Beautiful photos thanks for sharing xx
Still going here! Have had contractions on and off since 2am yesterday morning but all stopped at 9pm last night. Woke up to a show this morning so hopefully a good sign and that the contractions will start up again. Have had a couple but need a few more to check for consistency I guess. It's very frustrating though as I'm now 12 days over. I'm telling myself a show is a good sign though. But just want to meet Bub already!
Show and contractions are an awesome sign. You're gearing up now em :) :hug: Lots of birthing vibes to you!
Eutra, so beautiful! Thankyou so much for sharing.
Sending you beautiful, joyous birth blessings Em xx :loveshower:
Yay! Em, your baby will be in your arms soon.
ooh la la, Cassius has a new avi!
Go Em!!!! Wont be long now :) Whats the bet you'll disappear on us tonight when the sun goes down ;)
Sorting out my birth pool - getting one from the lovely Lisa Chalmers at Simply Birth - anyone used those pools? Thinking we'll go with the bigger one but need to measure up the bedroom tonight and make sure it'll all fit, then soon do a test run and see how long it takes to fill etc. Cant believe its getting down to the action end, still a little while to go but I need to be prepared as my babies seem to be coming earlier each time! My son was either 7 or 9 days early, can't remember, but I am happy to be surprised with a later birth, so much to do! Placenta encapsulation is all sorted, have someone to organise that for me, I am really intrigued to see how I feel after the birth this time :) Never expected I would do something like this with my previous births, but at worst case, I wont notice anything at all, no harm done. But loving all the positive feedback from so many who have done it. Not one person has said it was a waste of time or money, or did nothing for them.
Oohhh Kelly! so so so much fun setting up the birth pool! we had a pre-birth pool party in ours :ROFL:
I am very keen to do the encapsulating this time around. anything that might help stave off PND!!
HotI: aww shucks, thanks love! I made it myself...with a lot of norti words along the way....i am soooo not technical hahahaha
Em sounds like you're probably either in full on labour or well on the way by now with lots of productive early labour yesterday. ;) Sending beautiful birthing vibes your way.
Kelly we had a bigger sized one (not that brand). Could have fitted additional people in it, but didn't! We borrowed ours, but bought a liner. I needed the extra bottom padding and the sturdy handles on the sides.

This was my birthpool. I borrowed it from my midwife. It actually had a small hole that we repaired with a pool patch. THe midwife was haapy with our handywork cos it had been sitting there not being used for awhile due to the hole. We had a liner, and in the excitement/rush DH forgot to put it in.
Robyn, one of the mws my mw works with (they all come to our HB get togethers), told us an extremely funny story about a birth she attended where the birth pool sprung a couple of leaks. Older children had to be woken to help Nana bail it out so it didn't completely flood the living room! Birth went smoothly regardless and the Mumma didn't even realise.
Mine was an Aquaborn. The leaky pool was a cheaper brand that had already been used a couple of times.

My midwife was at a birth and they were moving a candle to get a bit more light and it went too close to the birthpool and put a hole in it. Luckily it was a double wall one and they were able to fix it enough with gaffa tape to hold while the baby was born. I reckon every midwife must have a birthpool story :lol:
Woohooo for contractions and show, Em! That baby is on it's way. :) Can't wait to see your BA!
Thankfully our own bathtub is big enough to birth in, so we didn't have any birthpool drama. Worked really well - it's a corner tub with jets.
Wow Kelly - can't believe you're getting so close to the end too. Seems to go so fast for those of us not actually carrying the baby.... ;)
