Homebirth General Discussion #4

[meow]

How are you going Marcellus? I replied in your other thread but I wanted to reply in here too and check you're okay. I hope the missed homebirth is not causing you upset. Ear first? Seriously, what was she thinking And your blood loss was heaps- Ihope you'rerecovering okay. You had the only kind of hospital birth I would want- one that involves a transfer from HB At least you know you actually needed to be there.

At least you know you actually needed to be there.

Hi guys.
We're doing well. Thanks so much for all your kinds words We're feeling ok about the whole thing right now, but I think it will be a while before I can proplery process everything. It was kind of huge.
I knew it before but now I truly *know* just how important it is to feel really supported and loved when in labour.

Tegam, you make me laugh!

[Tegam]

Tegam, you make me laugh!

YAY! Ill try to keep it up over the next few weeks for you

[meow]

Yay for our newest arrival!!! Tegam's Molly is earthside!

I bought a bunch of herbal baths and teas from Blissful Herbs and LOVED them... but didn't end up using the after birth tea. It's still unopened if anyone wants me to post it to them?

AFTER BIRTH BLISS herbal tea
- to support expulsion of the placenta & strengthen the endometrium. Contains a haemostatic to prevent excess bleeding, plus nourishing herbs to boost the new mother's iron and other nutrients.

Yay Tegam! Love the name

[PumpkinZulu]

Meow I'd love it...are you selling it or just posting? Happy to pay postage

Tegam, LOVE the name, welcome little Molly!

I didnt reply to this! The trouble with feeding at the keyboard... I read and then get called away before replying sometimes. I can imagine it will take a while to process everything- we're here if you need to talk it out anytime. But I'm so glad you're feeling ok and loved & supported

PZ- It's yours! Will PM for your address. Don't worry about money- I'm happy to see it go to another HBer

[Arimeh]

Just a quick one - congrats Tegam!!!

Marc -

[PumpkinZulu]

Aww Meow! I'll PM you now.

Marc, it IS huge and I think that's important to acknowledge. A lot happened very quickly and it all still needs to be processed

[Cassius2]

Yay!! Another beautiful baby brought earthside with love and tender support!!

I am so happy to hear that baby Molly is earthside, beautiful precious news!
