Homebirth General Discussion #2

Thankyou ladies, I might pop off and have a read through this thread

PZ!!! I said it in your PA but YAY again on your

Arimeh. You will do a great job welcoming your baby into the world where ever you are! There are so many "would have been nice" in pregnancy and birth that it is almost impossible to tick them all off. Either way it would be nice for you to know 100% where you will be so you can plan something!

AFM: Getting more and more use to the idea of having a where-ever-the-hell-i-am birth. Hopefully it will match this kids personality! A girlfriend asked me today where i am going to have the baby, i said "bilo or the backyard"

HUGE congratulations PZ!!! Rory just went through the Sunshine HB program- and had a gorgeous HB You have more rules and restrictions going through a hospital program so make sure you're aware of those and happy to transfer to hospital should they arise. I think it's a matter of choosing what suits you. Transferring for anything other than a medical emergency was a big concern of mine so an IM has been a good option to take away my anxietyand help me feel in control & trust my caregivers.

Yay for the HB AE!! Might need to work through missing your support people though...

Sooo... I think I'm next? Anyone due sooner than mid-Nov now?

Woohoo how exciting for you!

Actually I'm at that "aww crap- I have to go through labour" stage

As we've had a few births recently I thought I'd see if anyone is interested in adding their homebirth costs to this thread...

yeah but Meow, it will be amazing! seriously! i was laughing and full of love and excitement during this last labour...no joke! the feel and experience of a bringing baby into the world at home with your midwives and special ppl is unrivalled. intense but not scary! i'd do it a million times over...ok, maybe not that many times

[meow]

Yeah, yeah... I said that a few weeks after the last one too. You're still on the high

[Tegam]

SO TRUE!!!hehe

Pish. It'll be grand meow

Congrats Pumpkin!

So you're sticking with us then Arimeh

And Hi Pumpkin Zulu! Congrats on the BFP! I had DD3 at home in the bath - it was great. DS would have been a waterbirth if he hadn't got stuck. Water is really the best thing for pain relief and relaxation in labour, I think. All the best with planning and preparing for yours!

Id do it about once a week for $1000!!

I think id get takers

I wanted to surrogate after last time- only way I could envisage having 50 children and getting to give birth all those times

My lastlabour was 17 hours and it did hurt! But it wasn't scary... I think I DO want a shorter labour now though. I know I said before I didn't, but the idea of being done & dusted in less than 6 hours and not feeling like I've been hit by a bus is much more appealing

Lucky you are not also at the TTC stage and its FAR TOO LATE to worry about that then


Oh it doesnt even hurt! Its over in a few hrs and you get a BABY at the end of it.....what the problem??
