    What a worrying time for your friend and her family! Hope you can give her that big hug soon - I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

    Me again!
    Had my booking visit today and all is well so I guess I'm officially having a homebirth. Also had a quick listen to the heartbeat, which was nice.
    Hope you're all doing well

    No news for me... I don't have my next appointment with my midwife till 24 weeks as all is coasting along so we'll just start to focus on appointments in the third trimester.

    Great news marcellus! So exciting. I love hearing the heartbeat too. I've got a quick check with my m/w in the morning, I got a bit paranoid over the weekend because I feel like I've had less movement from bub so she's calling in to have a quick check. So much nicer than having to go to the hospital.

    Its funny, I already feel like I have a bowling ball sitting in my pelvis - the pressure is intense! I guess being second pregnancy everything kinda falls into place a lot easier. Here's hoping for another speedy labour with a vaginal birth this time at the end LOL!

    Cassius, how is your friend doing? Sounds like things were very fast for her and her LO.

    Taryn probably Stoked, she's doing the fill-in work for people away at the moment. She's nice. Which hossy did you use last time? I wasn't sure about swans, it's just down the road from here but felt maybe king eddies would be better. Taryn said Sue often uses Swans though - I'll talk to her about it once we meet.

    it was sooooooo wonderful having an appointment at home!!!!! DS was asleep when she got there. then woke up all grumpy. then finally settled down and I got him some lunch. And all during the appointment. so cool.

    Hope all's looking good infinity.

    Keep on cruising girls

    Hi girls, quietly popping in to register my interest in learning about all things HB.

    We are TTC at the end of this year and DP has said he is okay with me having a HB (which was a major obstacle). So while I'm not even pg yet, I'd love to learn from all of your experiences as you travel the road before me! Mine will be a HBAC. So I'll be watching Infinity with much interest!
