Hello ladies,

So, i find myself back in here again! I got my BFP yesterday after my last m/c in June.

I went to my GP this morning and left very disappointed! I won't go into details but one of the things she said to me just before i left was

"Where would you like to have the baby"
Me- "Well if possible i'd like to have another homebirth"
Her- "Well i highly recommend you don't"
Me- "Why is that?"
Her- "The rates for neonatal deaths are huge compared to hospital births yada yada yada..."

Awesome. I am going to a different GP on Tuesday. There is a possibility that i won't be accepted into the CMPWA this time as i had a PPH with my last birth, then retained placenta, then the missed m/c, then retained "products" after that THEN another hemorrage after the D&C. But i have my fingers and toes crossed and have been promised by my midwife that she will be there for me whether i birth at home or not

I think i know most of you but i look forward to getting to know those who i don't know!

Oh and good luck Meow!! How exciting!!!

Thank you gorgeous women!! I thought of you when I posted the weight Marcellus... I said "I cracked 10 pounds!" to my MW too

I have a second degree tear on my perineum again and decided against stitching so I have to spend 2 weeks lying in bed. It's hard to type lying down so I can't post much. Up feeding Felix now so sneaking in some one-handed typing! Labour was fairly quick... 4 hours of pre & early labour then 3hours 20mins of established labour. 2nd stage was 1hour 40mins so 1/2 the labour was pushing him out! Thank god for water immersion!!! Birthing in the pool was much better. 3rd stage was 30mins with quite painful contractions- was very happy once the placenta was out Big brother had an up & down first 24 hours but is already smiling at, and kissing his baby brother
