Homebirth General Discussion #20

[Jennifer13]

I'd rather live in denial for another week at least. Cassius is right, often bfing hormones can mimic anyway. At the very least I'll be more diligent with contraception. Hoti, it's been nice sharing our journeys - but for both of our sakes I hope this is not one of them!

Ozstar - not long now. Do you feel like you're ready?

Read an awesome birth story online about an almost 44 weeker - 4th baby, all slow cooked and born at 9lb covered in vernix. Just shows babies know when they're ready and when they're not.

[Ozstar]

Jen i think I read the same birth story, it was fantastic.

I'm almost ready. I'm working on Tuesday (crazy) and dh gets home on Wednesday so come Wednesday night I think I'll be ready. I plan to spend Wednesday in my birth space making sure it's all how I want it

[HotI]

my last two born at 41 weeks and 41 +2 were both covered in vernix too. perfectly cooked.

[Bella29]

This little boy born at 41+2 was born with no vernix and his skin was peeling at birth. His poor little feet today are like little lizard feet! So scaly!

[HotI]

do you have some moisturising cream for him? poor bubba. i use cetaphil moisturising cream on DS, who gets eczema.

[Eenee]

Try coconut oil Bella and breastmilk. All my bubs were peeling. And DS1 was peeling at birth.

[meow]

I hope you keep feeling well off the meds Eenee. I'm glad you felt ready to 'come out' xx

My baby born at 39+4 had the most insane dry, flaky skin. All peeled off. My 41 weeker had no issues!

We moved house yesterday and it's had such a good effect on my mood. Pretty sure I know where I want the birth pool and I can picture night time parenting in those early weeks in our spare room. Finally started preg yoga today and that felt so good to get started too.

Thinking of you ozstar xx

Have been enjoying your posts and photos on the fb group Bella

[Tegam]

oh Meow so nice to hear that things are starting to settle for you! And how nice that you are in the house you are going to birth in! Getting exciting.

Ozstar…….always a weird feeling in here when you look at the list and its YOU next! Enjoy the ride xx

Whatever are we going to do to get thru June and July with no births????

[Ozstar]

Yesterday I gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl 💞 after only 44min of active labour she waited for daddy to get home before making her arrival in the water at home.

[meow]

Yay Ozstar!!! Sounds perfect Congratulations! Enjoy your newborn love.

[Artechim]

Congratulations Oz!! She is lovely! Hope you are enjoying your day of new baby cuddles. I bet the big kids are thrilled with their new little girl

Congratulations Oz... I had a 50 minute labour and they are fast and furious I hope your afterbirth pains aren't too horrendous! I found wrapping my abdomen and warmth really helped with the after pains if you do have them.

Enjoy your baby bubble

[Eenee]

Congratulations Oztar, wow that's quick. Hope you are feeling ok after a quick labour.

[Jennifer13]

Huge congrats Ozstar! Those third babies sure do like to arrive in a hurry.

[Tegam]

Wow ozstar so exciting to see your news! It was my third that was
A lightning birth too! So glad daddy made it!

[meow]

I'm hoping my third is a fast one. I'll be so miserable if it ends up being crazy long!
