Cass, thanks for the reminder about the video. I will leave the video camera out and charged too. I don't plan on having another opportunity to record a birth of mine!
I ordered the book "Hello Baby" today for my DD. Think i might ask my midwife if she has any big people books i can read. Think i need to start getting into baby-birthing mode.
One of my belly-buddies gave birth to her little girl sleeping yesterday. So heartbreaking.
How is everyone else doing?
How is Eutra...?, i think you are next on the list.
I went along to my first HB get together yesterday, with all of the m/ws from the clinic my m/w works with (and some really great experience there - Robyn Dempsey, Jane Palmer et al). It was so good! I got some great ideas on a birth plan in case of transfer and caught up with both of the m/ws that will be attending my DD2's birth. Great to see some other HBing Mums too (there were a fair few).
Next month's topic is siblings at birth, so I am really looking forward to it. And it's only 20 mins from my place and just around the corner from Epacris - perfect excuse to pop in for lunch afterwards.
Baby's head is wedged right down in my pelvis, so I can't see her moving anytime soon. She's currently lying head down facing the LHS. Is this a good position? She's so far down I'll have a lot of trouble getting her to move further around to the front so she's fully anterior! Even the m/w commented at our last visit just how wedged in she is. You can see the bulge her head makes. My tummy growth has slowed down (generally), and while I know there's normally plenty of room at this stage, if I even rest my hands on the top of my fundus, she wiggles her legs as it's pressing too hard for her!
oohhh Jennifer!!! all that talk of your bubba is just making me clucky again!!!
The meet-ups sound great. I LOVED (and still love lol) going to ours. just being able to hang out with people that 'get it' ITMS. I love being around people that have had HBs as they totally understand just how awesome an experience we've had, something that i find i just can't get on a level with those that haven't thought about having a HB ITMS. and that feeling only fortifies after you have been through the birth experience (even if there was transfer etc etc as the support and community is ongoing).
