Homebirth General Discussion #16

I would think if anything, it'll make labour less painful and more effective. I don't think it would have any impact on when you labour though.

Bella - thanks for sending me over to "midwife thinking" I've read some of her stuff before and liked it, but now I've finally bookmarked the page.

Arimeh - back on the getting baby lower thing - a mum on another forum was talking about this, and someone recommended getting a piece of stretchy soft fabric, (like a baby wrap, sort of) and then lying down on top of it on your bed until baby settles back, and then wrapping it snugly, but not too tight, around your belly to help hold baby in, so that he can move down into your pelvis better. Might be worth a try...?

AFM - feeling baby pretty low. Losing a bit of plug now and then. Bit of an acne break out. (ugh!) Waiting....waiting....waiting. Feeling like a time bomb, ready to go off any time, but no idea when. Not too uncomfortable yet, but I'd love to be on the other side of delivery soon, holding this bean in my arms, not my belly.
