Cassius, so far no hint of all that hospy talk - I copped it from GPs during my last pg when I went in there for unrelated reasons, so it's a relief not to get the lecture about the 'risks'! I'm also prefacing contact with the fact that my second baby was born at home, so I'm according them the intelligence to infer that I already know about 'risks' etc
HotI, how's the critter's movements going? Sorry if I'm missed a post updating the sicho - I've had my sister and her family over and my computer is in the guest room!
Meow: ooohhhh I am sooo excited for you! i hope that the midwife is an awesome fit! Do you need help in finding a photographer...I have a few peeps that might know some peeps (and they are lovely peeps lol!).
Smoke: yeah, i found that too. it was much easier to navigate the 'risks' talk once you already have a baby that was born at home. In fact, i always started the convo with 'we are planning to have this baby at home as well'. it shuts them right down as they are less inclined to tell you their colloquial 'risks' talk. in fact when i had to take an ambulance at 5 weeks postpartum for PPH the ambo was so totally awesome and was pro HB! so that set up the whole hospital trip nicely for me
HotI: oh no! you poor poppet! do you usually struggle with being pregnant? or is just this one? any prospect of some pampering while you are with bump? I had a shocker few weeks with DD3 and tried a prenatal massage. it didnt fix everything, but it was nice to have that hour to myself and for myself.
the_mrs: nah, i wouldnt be concerned at all. your cervix knows what to do and with bubs in that position it will start doing it's thing quite well!
E_P: WAHOO!! that is awesome news! congratulations! I have two september babies...they are pretty lovely!
