Hi Everyone,
I haven't been in for a while... but with my HB baby just about to turn one, I thought I would come back and say hi!!! Hope you are all going well. I am ready to write up my birth story and will post it in the next few days.

Special shout out to Bella... I hope your birth goes well, all your words are reminding me of so many thoughts and feelings I was having a year ago. I also wanted to let you know, try not to get too stuck on 'perfect position' For my first 3 births I really felt that was important, they were born super fast and spent lots of time in good low position leading up to birth, but when I birthed DD4, the day I had her she was incredibly high up and when I went into labour she was not moving down, this was a strange sensation for me, but I went with it. Long story short, she was born in her caul with the cord very tight around her neck, so while she wasn't in the text book optimal position, if we had done anything to make her come down faster or try and hold her in position with slings etc, there is no way baby would have come out safe and sound... trust that your little one knows what to do, I was blown away that DD4 being born in her caul slowed the birth down to bring her safely into earth!!

Lots of birthing vibes coming your way. xx
