Homebirth General Discussion #21

Glad to hear you're on the mend Jen. I hope you're okay too Em. Mastitis is awful

Cassius- I agree! I am SO glad I switched midwives! This one is wonderful and she is really helping get through this and I can really talk to her about it and not feel like she adds to my stress and makes bizarre high risk claims. This one doesn't white wash it but doesn't sensationalise it either. I'm a little bummed as she was just on her way for an appointment now but got called to a birth. Should see her tomorrow. I'm also going to do another blood test tomorrow. It's only 3 days since the last one but I don't want to wait a full week in case baby comes. I hope I'm not being rash though as I'll be shattered if my platelets have gone down again! They just need to come up 3 more points at the moment. Will have another good sleep dreaming of my bone marrow sending out beautiful platelets tonight.

I also have a hematologist appointment for next Tuesday... the day before my due date. In any case I'm not thinking there will be much time left to get anything out of that appointment but it's worth a shot!

Our Baby is very head down and low the last week ! And have 1.7 cm between cervix and placenta :-)
Thanks for all the positive vibes !!!!
I think my midwife would like a bit more but i feel better knowing its not an automatic c-section anymore

Woohoo!!! Surely any distance qualifies as not covering the cervix so it sounds great to me! And you have more time still. Such fantastic news! Too many of us teetering on high risk!

Kellbell: I am doing a placenta dance for you move move move! Such great news that it is heading in the right direction and in my mind there is still plenty of time for more stretching of uterus and placenta movement. go you good thing!

Meow: I am going to visualise the number 4 and hope that you get more than the minimum required i am all for the visualisations man!
