Homebirth General Discussion #21

[Jennifer13]

My m/ws didn't make it to DD3's birth but I made DP hang up on 000. Lol I didn't want them coming, my m/ws were on their way and on the ph. I trusted that a fast birth would be a good birth and we were fine. My m/w sent a closer m/w to get to me ASAP. My doula also arrived very soon after the birth. As long as I knew they were coming I felt okay. Poor DP wasn't, but he did what I said and got through it.

If I have another I will have my primary m/w again but a much closer m/w as well. I had two m/ws for both of my previous HBs but clearly I need someone who can get here in about 15 mins, not 45.

I will also be calling my m/w to come as soon as cx start! I won't be riding out 'early labour' waiting for things to get serious.

Yeah I agree, I go into to crazy organised lady once I hit 30 weeks.

Rest up for the next 5 days then lady-bug cause it's about to hit! Wow... I hadn't thought of that but my organisation is really picking up! Organised our chest freezer yesterday and started planning meals to make and today I got started with those too. Getting the house unpacked and I'm starting to stall because it needs to be perfect

....and so the nesting begins!

I still firmly believe that there is a tipping point with each subsequent pg where it all flies by quicker than the last...that said, the first part of pg seems to drag on forever and be more and more tiresome each time....

Nothing feels more perfect than an organised chest freezer and a plan to cook and freeze meals

I'm starting to get in on that vibe, wanting more nesting time at home. There has been some movement at work and it looks like I am potentially facing redundancy as another service takes over the service I work at. So there are positives and negatives to that - one being I don't have to return to work sooner
