Had debrief with midwives yesterday and was good to chat about it. Kinda feel somewhat awesome how well my body does labour but not just that as well but the way I was able once I realized yep this is it to tell where I was in the stages. Yes they were some one quick stages and we seem to jump a few but I could feel it.
I did end up getting my placenta done as well. She picked it up Sunday and dropped it back off yesterday arvo. Got 245 tablets out of it!!! Started taking them yesterday. She recommends one morning and lunch. Doesn't recommend night as some women find its like having caffeine energy wise.
Hopefully it works cause the adrenalin is wearing off and lasts night epic sucking marathon by little miss has made me somewhat tired. Pretty sure she is trying to bring in my milk and its half way. Def not as sticky anymore but not overloaded Pamela boobs yet.
Other then that and not wanting to sleep anywhere but on me it's all good.
Taking her in to show off at the girls school this morning.
Welcome to the group Teni!!! Now you really can start your homebirth birth plan!!!
Beatrix- Congrats again on your little one. I was thinking about you the day before the birth, I have three girls too and am really wanting to know what this little one is... I was sure it was a boy until you had your fourth girl, and now I am back to what am I having!??? I also have super quick labours, my shortest being 50minutes from first contraction, and I was wondering how have your afterpains been with this bub? The last one were really intense, the midwife says the uterus has to work harder to get back down after a super quick birth. I am not looking forward to that part again.
Looking at that list I am moving up which is exciting, I think I am the next homebirth... YAY!!!
I got the hose for the pool yesterday and have started sorting wraps and clothes, also old towels and sheets for the nest after birth. School holidays next week, so we are planning to set up the space then, we are painting the room to birth in and we will have a run through the pool which the kids LOVE!! Baby is still head down and starting to take up alot of room. I am really excited to be getting to the birth end of the pregnancy, and doing the practical things to prepare. We are getting a nice little birth team set up and people have started a calender for food and help with children afterbirth, awesome community here!!
