Homebirth General Discussion #21

Lady-bug: i reckon if you instead focus on position of bubs. spinning babies is awesome for tips etc. Most babies stay swimming even above the pelvis until labour: my last birth was like that and my second baby only engaged part way through. But what i found calming for me was that i had been working on optimal fetal positioning (especially with DD3 as DD2 was posterior until she flipped herself during labour lol).

I wouldn't worry ladybug as most 2nd,3rd.... Bubs don't engage until labour starts. But that's also easy for me to say seeing this one has already engaged. I do like knowing its where its got to end up.... In saying that the pressure the last few days isn't so nice

So maybe some gentle persuasive movement techniques will make you feel
Like you are 'helping' things...

Anyone suggest a good tearjerker movie? All that comes to mind is beaches and that's not doing it for me. I don't like blood and guts (says thè ED nurse lol). But I need a good release. DH away again until
Wednesday, I'm shattered. Need to re group before he gets home so I can think of birthing.
