I did the same a tegam but instead of mattress protectors I just used wool blankets I bought from the op shops and washed in a hot wash!!! It is soooooo good ripping off the top layer after birth and having fresh sheets!!!
Oooo, I like this sheet idea. Thank peeps, I shall try to get it done today. I bought a new waterproof mattress protector with all intentions of using it to prevent my waters from leaking onto my mattress. I hadn't thought that far ahead to the post birth part!
Its been quite a while since I posted on the BB pages!
I'm happy to share that we're expecting baby #5 and again planning a birth at home. I never thought I would be able to have the much dreamed homebirth but I found a Midwife who is willing to support me despite my history of 2 retained placenta's and PPH's.
I'm 20 weeks now and due in January!
I've been putting the most work I've ever put into a pregnancy with lots of debriefing, visualisations, meditation and birth preparation. I suffered quite a lot of trauma and disappointment with my last birth and wasn't expecting to become pregnant quite so soon. So its given me the opportunity to deal with the issues that I may have been avoiding up until now.
I look forward to preparing for the journey with you all again
Yes Sara, it is you! I thought I knew 'Sara' and I remember yours daughters names. Just needed to see your sig to be sure! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I look forward to reading more of your journey and offering any support I can through your pregnancy.
