Hello Ladies!
Well, i was feeling a bit down last week for a variety of reasons! Firstly i was spotting and cramping (which has all settled down for now, touch wood!) AND i emailed my midwife who told me she no longer works on the CMP so cannot be my midwife again!
She also told me that with all the trouble i had after having Archie (PPH, retained placenta, missed m/c, retained product, d&c, another big bleed) that it would be unlikely that i would be accepted into the program again anyway as i am higher risk of bleeding again. So, needless to say, i was feeling a bit lost and the thought of having my baby in a HOSPITALterrifies me!
So today i picked myself up and dusted myself off and thought i'd better get onto it so phoned the CMP to get them to send out my application form. I had a good conversation with one of the midwives there who made me feel a bit better about the situation and told me that it is unlikely that the events following the d&c would affect my application as they were not a 'natural' occurence so it's really just the PPH and retained placenta that may be my issue.
I have absolutely EVERYTHING crossed that i can birth at home again but if i can't i am hoping they'll still allow me to go through the program but just birth in the hospital at the end. The midwife said to me today that this may be a possibility so fingers crossed.
Sarah, Glad to hear you have a pool sorted!
Mel, YAY on your house birth!!!
Marcellus, oh i remember that feelingYou definately WILL NOT be pregnant forever, i promise you that! xx
Liz, Sounds like a plan Stan!
Tegam, WELCOME BACK! Must be a good feeling!

Loving the vibe in here at the moment- lots of good HBing news
AE- lots of women who live remote move to have a HB near a major hospital. So they don't HB actually at their home but it's still a HB- I think yours is the same. Saying you are going to a birth centre doesn't really describe it compared to the birth centre I went to. And at least you can go their in early labour and avoid the crappy car ride as they're not going to have you on the clock like a hospital.
SM- SO glad you have your pool. Beautiful birth blessings for you!!
Marc- I know the feeling. This babewas born at 41 weeks and having had the first at 39+5 I hadn't expected to get that far. Baby will come earthside soon. Sending lots of beautiful birth blessings to you too
Liz- Welcome!! When I talked to my MWs about transfer I realised I'm so glad I planned a HB regardless of if I had had to transfer. The hospital and postnatal support you would receive by having an IM even with a prem baby is huge. My MW attended a hospital birth at 34 weeks the day after my baby's birth and helped them avoid a c/s and negotiate SCN. Had I had a c/s and baby was taken to SCN for example,my MWs would have split up, one with me in recovery and one with my H and baby at SCN, and SMSed back and forth to keep me informed. I like those extra touches. Have fun planning your birth!
Tegam- SOOO thrilled to hear the HB is back on! You've done a beautiful job growing that babe
Stoked- Everything crossed for you with CMP!
PZ- I hired a wooden pool through midwives naturally and I LOVED it. It had a heater in it that could maintain temperature (not heat the water up). One of my MWs suggested hiring one of those benchtop catering urns if you're short on hot water-plus boiling in pots etc. I've also read that you can use heaters from tropical fish tanks- not sure exactly how but could be worth looking into?

Stoked, hope you can get into the programme again. Sounds hopeful.
I ended up being reassigned to Laura, she's new. There are quite a few new ones at the moment. I would have had Melissa as backup if baby had come on time, but now having Angela (will meet her tomorrow) - she just started, has been doing HBs down Bunbury way.
Even a domino birth would be better than just going to hospital so fingers crossed that's your worst-case scenario.
