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.
I see you went back for number 5! That's wonderful news! And so close now!
e_p - Thank you for the welcome! Technically, this baby will make #4 in the house as we lost a little guy in 2011. So its baby #5 to us but I'll only have to kid wrangle 4 lol
Lots of September EDD's!! Very exciting month for you all! I wonder if we will see any other newbies come in otherwise we'll have a bit of wait on our hand till January!
Yep we're certainly cruising along Tegam lol The weeks go by so quick these days but in the same token, it doesn't feel like its going to quick that I'm not able to enjoy the pregnancy. Its quite nice really.
Oh I totally get that Freya! I've been planning to birth at home since 2007! I feel everything will work out this time. I'm well supported, grounded and am putting a lot into birth preparation. I wish you all the best and hope we both finally reach what we've been working towards all these years
