Yay for getting the pool already PZ! I'll get mine at 37 weeks We've got to go out and get tap fittings and a new piece of hose, and some drop sheets too. I might even need buckets actually.. on the list of supplies it says to have two buckets. I've only got ginormous nappy buckets, and filthy gardening buckets hehe.
As for using the bath... no way would I use the bath. I don't like baths anyway cos they're so hard. I really don't understand how people relax in a bath LOL. I think the birth pool will be comfy cos it's all padded, even the bottom of it, and I'll be able to drape myself over the side of it, there'd be no room to move in our bathroom bath.
Midwife came this morning. We are on a mission to turn this baby now. Start acupuncture and moxibustion tomorrow (I'm assuming he'll be doing the moxibustion!) and we'll be giving bub some stern talking to and will try the flashlight trick too. I'm on weekly visits now instead of from 37 weeks, because of my history of going early, and also to check that bub has turned next week! yay it's getting exciting!
Pz: how exciting re the pool, not long now! oh a purple pool cool mine was blue.
Tash: I've read your birth story- you are an amazing woman!
Liz: I hope your little one decides to turn but if not Tash is proof you can have a breach birth. But of course it would be better if bub just goes head down for you. I know someone who's breach baby turned during labour!!
Birth pool was definitely worth it even though I didn't end up birthing in there. The padded floor was great. When the suggestion was made that I had to get out I really didn't want to cos I was comfy but DD wasn't coming out in there.
Hi all!
I hope it is OK if I drop in here? I am not pregnant atm, but I have had 2 glorious homebirths - one in 2006, one in 2009. And I hope to have another one next year.
I birthed 'on land' both times, but am interested in waterbirth next time - or, at least, water-labour. A purple birthing pool would be awesome!
Hi meow! I read your link - oh did I cry...but I also felt uplifted. She is an amazing woman and mother.
PZ - not long to go now! I am excited for you.
Tash- I have read your birth story. You were amazing....what a beautiful birth you gave your son.
Em - Your birth story is beautiful.
Liz - Good luck with your 'mission' to turn your bub.
Ash I'm so jealous you're planning another! I'm clucky, but not. I'm glad you liked the link. I found it such as amazing story. Cried lots but really moved by such an empowering experience for everyone involved.
tashybabe- I thought I had read your birth story but obviously not. WOW! You and Leo rocked with such an amazing birth. What a team. I cried for your precious little boy. I wish he could have stayed
