I ended up going to hospital last night to check on bubs, I had very decreased movements for about 20hrs and was starting to worry. Everything is fine, bubs has not stopped moving today (of course). It really reminded me how much I don't want to birth in a hospital, so unwelcoming and cold. The midwives were lovely (I always get defensive at hospitals) but I'm glad I got a reminder why I choose homebirth.

Tegam, we're multiplying!!

Lady-bug, glad everything's ok xx

Welcome, kellbell!

I didn't really read any water birth books, Sterla. Mostly videos on YouTube too. Although there was one I read, forget the name, she talked about swimming with dolphins and how that inspired her to look into water birth.

[Cassius2]

Welcome Kellbells!!

Wowsers! September is AWESOME!

[Jennifer13]

Sept is the opposite of June/July, clearly. Only one HBed bubba in three years in those months!

[TeniBear]

Well it's around September when you conceive a June baby, so everyone's still in their winter bodies and not feeling very sexy

[~phyrephly~]

This baby was a result of a very happy birthday to me my birthday is just before christmas.

[Jennifer13]

Look out in the next Homebirth Access Sydney mag - Charlotte's story is in there.

[TeniBear]

This baby was a result of a very happy birthday to me my birthday is just before christmas.

Miss A was a combination of a wedding present and DH's birthday present We were on a holiday paid for by gift vouchers we got for our wedding, and we chose to go up to see his mum for his birthday. First day there was when she was conceived

[Artechim]

September is a great time to have babies
