Homebirth General Discussion #5

[Jennifer13]

GL to all of you with impending HBs. Especially thinking of you Liz, fx for a few extra weeks this time.

You can put me down for a Jan HB. I may as well start as I intend to go on!

[brogeybear]

Add me too please. Sometime in November I assume. Still don't have definite birth support, should get onto that. Wanting to know if there is just one or if there are two babes hiding in there. Hopefully I'll know within a few weeks, as I'll want an extra person if there are two babes.

Add me to October (all going well). Our other options are closing, yay

I'd tried to book the Monash birth centre as a compromise for DH but I'm outside their zone. I can book them as a homebirth backup. I did with DS just in case, as they're closer than RWH. I get anxious going to RWH, so I'm hoping to avoid that. Actually, I'm hoping to avoid a transfer altogether this time. I've told bub to grow healthy enough by 37/38 weeks and then s/he can slip out in the bath about then and save us the stress. 25 sept is a good date from a numerological POV.

Eta - i havent told DH or our IM this yet, but I'm leaning towards a lotus birth.

[brogeybear]

We will be lotus birthing too Tash.

I have never done a lotus birth but would be happy to make a bag for you

[Bella29]

I'll be hb'ing in Jan too so you can add me to the list we won't find out the sex

That is so sweet. Thank you. I'm not sure when I'll bring it up for discussion. We want to get through the 2nd trimester first, as it's possible DS's genetic condition could be picked up quite late via u/s. It's hard to plan when we don't know if bub is OK or not. I can only assume s/he is and go from there.

[Tegam]

Oh Tash such a hard time for you! Do you like/want to talk about it? Dont want to ask questions if its just going to upset or stress you!
