Homebirth General Discussion #4

[Tegam]

Very excited, got some of my playlist done for labour! Getting so excited now, DH is too I think, but don't tell anyone, it may break his cool exterior ;p lol

Oh WOW not long now LS! How exciting!

[Cassius2]

hi girls!

eeep! not long now for many of you! after chatting with Lily the other day i realised that we are certainly going to be having more babies in here before too long!

Soooo, with that in mind, i thought to (finally!) share my birth montage (yes, i finally got around to doing it hahahaha!).

hope you like it (and i hope it works )

Baby Marta's home waterbirth

*sniff*

Beautiful Cassius2!

[meow]

You are so radiant after she is born... magical photos! That was beautiful

[Liz]

Oh wow. Some beautiful shots there Cassius! I've no idea who will take the photos for us, but I def want some would never dream of photos of my hospital births.. only baby photos there lol.

[meow]

Just wanted to also apologise for notposting much. I've been reading but life is terribly hard and busy at the moment. There is a lot going on. I cheered myself up yesterday by watching my birth montage and it made me think how funny it is that giving birth is something that good it can cheer up the glums

Thinking of you limeslice!! Can't wait to hear all about your blissful birth

[HotI]

Just gorgeous Cassius.

[~Stoked~]

That made me cry Cassius! So beautiful! Your babies are gorgeous!

[Freya]

So beautiful Cassius!

Hopefully I will be able to get back in here before too long. Makes me sad to think I should have been well on my way to planning our homebirth. At this point in time I dont even know where we will be when the next bub decides to join us but no matter what s/he WILL be homebirthed.

Stalking in the meantime and so excited for everyone due soon!

[LimeSlice]

Gorgeous Cassius! Thanks for sharing

Thanks meow! I am getting very excited now, but also impatient lol Have to keep reminding myself to settle down.

DH gave me a boost yesterday though: random "I am not anxious about you giving birth this time at all. Last time I was, but I am just excited this time. It will be fabulous." Yay! Was really good to hear it. He is a very calm and collected person for the most part, and has been my Sentry this whole pregnancy with the doctors and hospital, making sure I don't get sucked into their bull****. But was ace to hear him say something like that just out of the blue.

Thankyou so much for sharing. Just beautiful. We are only 3 weeks from our third sons due date, and i am hoping for a waterbirth at the Family Birthing Centre. You have really inspired me to focus my plan around the bath.

Baby Marta's home waterbirth

love it love it love it! the moment at 2.56 is beautiful!

[Cassius2]

Oh LS! how cool is that?! i love love it! *mwah* talk about awesome confidence boost

[meow]

So many amazing moments in your montage Cassius. 2:56 is gorgeous Tegam

1:30 is my fave- I cant believe you're sitting in the pool in established labour just chattin' with a drink!

2:29 is a stunning photo too!

Your H sounds beautiful limeslice... he sounds really ready to be amazing support

[Cassius2]

aww thanks guys!

what i loved about having the photos (and i reckon that anyone planning a HB should really consider getting some happy snaps taken...my two cents lol!), is being able to see some of the details ITMS. for example i love that in the early just born shots her cord is fat and plump, and then in the shot where the placenta has been put in the pot (But still attached) it has gone thin and is obviously no longer pumping. for me to see that now was really cool as i was too focused on her and the moment to take in those kind of details. my only regret is that we didnt film it. some of the banter that went on was hilarious (like when she was coming down the birth canal everyone was like mega serious and all that and out of nowhere i started laughing hysterically and they all jumped saying 'what? what?' and i laughed that Marta was trying to dance her way out lol! she was nodding her head the whole way down...man it funny lol)...would of loved to have had that on film...

[meow]

Sooo close now limeslice!!

I took a lasagne around today to a mum from my playgroup who had a home birth a week ago. So gorgeous. It's just beautiful talking about birth in someones home. I love home birth!! I'm quite a birth addict. Love talking about a good birth
