I wish my midwife came to my house! She has a private practice built on the side of her home though that isnt too far and it is nice and home-y. It has a queen size bed I lay on and she has a huge fish tank with relaxing music. I find it more relaxing than my dirty house haha...plus it gives me a reason to get OUT of my house!
Can I just say spinning babies is NOT comfortable I can never sit on a comfy couch and I get so dizzy from all the inversions! Not to mention the cold ice I leave on the top of my belly to keep cutie pie head down..or transverse...whatever she is
Don't think there will be a baby very soon for me - baby is still floating VERY high and totally mobile, moves from hip to hip basically. *sigh*
I know I've done it once before with a baby that wasn't engaged, even when I was in labour, and I still got her out, however there is that little seed of doubt in my mind that I won't go into labour once I reach 42 weeks and it will be an immediate c-section....which is what happened with DD1.
Little bugger just isn't co-operating!
My midwife said she could do a S&S next appointment for me (so at 41 weeks) but only if I want her to, and I know you can prep your body as much as you want to, and if bubs isn't ready, then there really isn't anything you can do - so not sure whether I should get her to do it? My cervix is very far back, and it hurts to do them so I've always avoided them after my first one at 41+2 with DD1 (which did NOTHING anyway!)
ETA - I guess my "fear" of not going into labour is also because I'm going with a midwifery group that I sort of dealt with when pregnant with DD1 - same OB works through there that I had with her, their hypnobirthing person is the same one, the midwives were the ones that were at Selangor.... argh. I dunno. Am I making sense?
Ugh! I just read this on FB from a local MW in California.
Well California, we won and we lost. AB1308 has passed and is now to the governor. Breech mamas, twins mamas, post dates mamas, you need to stand up and fight because your midwives can no longer serve you come January. VBAC mamas, you'll now have to get basically a permission slip from an OB. While the midwives will now be out from under physician supervision, women and their reproductive systems are now even more controlled by the medical establishment and the government.
