Homebirth General Discussion #21

happy stupid random date they give us to mess with our heads! How boring to come when you are expected, maybe s/he will come now that its not expected….. Now it is going to be a LEO so i guess you had better get use to the idea that a leo only does what it wants when it wants and no amount of bribery, blackmailing or begging helps! Trust me i have TWO leo children. When they are good they are PERFECT! When they are at their worst……… they send you packing to a corner to cry LOL

Aren't i a positive little ray of sunshine! Think i have hit the "i can't keep going like this stage" Need to sort some things so i can't get a bit more rest! Hmmmm ideas hehe??

MEOW Does your ticker say almost 36 weeks EEEEKKKKKKKKKKK

**Sterla** · July 28th, 2014, 08:12 PM

My sister is a leo... so I know what you're talking about Tegam!

Should be an interesting combo with my feisty DD! Thank goodness DS is such a dream kid!

And yeah, I shouldn't be so caught up on the whole EDD thing... I'm just over it. I want to meet my bubba already!

Shhh Tegam! I'm SO not ready to be 36 weeks! Argh! I had an appointment with my backup MW the other day and I said a few times "I'll be 37 weeks and full term in less than 2 weeks! I'm not ready to have a baby in 2 weeks!"

Appointment with the backup MW went well. It was my first time meeting her and she's lovely. We didn't really totally click though, and it was actually reaffirming after the MW issues I've had to be reminded that the one I chose is the right one because I totally click with her. Have an appointment with my MW this Thursday which I'm looking forward to. I'm feeling a bit stressed that I haven't fully communicated my previous trauma and the triggers and concerns I have if we end up needing to transfer so I really want to go over all that with her and get a hospital transfer birth plan in place.

Be brave and make sure you get it all out! If you don't feel you can say it them maybe write it all down. I have a 33week appointment then a 36 week appointment!! What those appointments come so quickly! I think mentally I'm about 23 weeks. Body feels 63weeka pregnant hehe

hugs Sterla. i was sure #3 would come early, or at least earlier than my other two (41 weeks), and she didn't arrive until 41 +3. Hope you don't have too much longer to wait.

**Sterla** · July 29th, 2014, 03:22 PM

Thanks HotI. I wake up every morning so disappointed that nothing has started yet. I feel like I'm going to be pregnant forever.

**Lady-bug** · July 30th, 2014, 08:07 PM

Yay Sterla!!! Enjoy all of that homebirth baby bliss!! Such a special time

Meow- Can I go first please?!?

Tegam-I too have been like that, but feeling better now, I really have to make sure I have a few quieter days each week or I'm a mess (easier said than done I know). Are you drinking enough? Dehydration can make me super tired.

**kellbell** · July 30th, 2014, 09:19 PM

Omg she's gorgeous Sterla what a cutie

you have made me super super clucky for mine
Enjoy those newborn snuggles!!

**Cassius2** · July 30th, 2014, 10:42 PM

Massive Massive Massive congratulations Sterla!!!

Cannot wait to hear how it all went!!!

Yay! Another BB HB!!!!

**Lady-bug** · August 4th, 2014, 04:44 PM

Haha sorry Tegam!!

We've got our birth plan meeting this week!! Woohoo, although at this stage I feel like I want to have a birth instead of a meeting about it. SO. Much. Pressure

Surely I can not stay like this for another 4+ weeks....

**Tegam** · August 4th, 2014, 11:01 PM

I thought that ladybug but MW today said baby is head down but not engaged at all.... Lord you mean this gets worse LOL

**Tegam** · August 4th, 2014, 11:05 PM

Dot face my babies are too ugly at birth to name them after what they do or don't look like hehe!

**HotI** · August 5th, 2014, 02:34 PM

i like Archie!
Ernie, Oscar, Finley

i had 2 boy names and 2 girls name picked each time, but when DS was born i decided i didn't like either name. it took us another 12 hours or so to decide on a name. the girls were named soon after birth, but DD2 s second name took a few days.

are you kids really ugly babies Tegam? poor kids

**meow** · July 31st, 2014, 04:18 AM

Meow- Can I go first please?!?

Please do. I'm so miserable at the moment there is no way I'm ready to go into labour.

I mentioned my stress on FB and got a bunch of "it doesn't matter how the baby comes, so long as you're safe" comments. Argh!!! Transferring to hospital just so I can get immediate PPH treatment isn't really a good safety plan!! People are just so down on HB.
