Homebirth General Discussion #13

[Jennifer13]

I sent my m/w a hamper of groceries as a gift after her new bub last mth (she's too far away to drop off meals), do dinners for close by friends and sent my cleaner to another friend's house as her baby gift. Seems so much more useful than another outfit!

Yay Cricket for another DS!

Oh my, Arimeh. Can't believe it's already time to find out the flavour!

LBF, not long now, feels real when you're organising those last little things!

I had a horrible thought today - its probably really selfish and self-indulgent to have an expensive homebirth while we are on centrelink benefits isn't it?

Maybe I should just suck it up and go through the hospital.

And increase your chance of a surgical birth, and/or other interventions, plus the added expense to the public system? I like your idea of homebirth, if you can afford it, way better.

Double post.

Nope not at all Arimeh!

Williams Mummy, it can seem like it will all be overwhelming but all will be good, at least you will have no bag unpacking and stuff to come home to. As for meals well early days DH would go buy heathy take away or cooked chicken from Coles we had with salad. And then a few great friends brought us meals which even catered to our food intolerances/allergies so if anyone asks how they can help just say meals.
