you need to sign up to youtube (no fee or anything) and then when you upload you video it will ask you if you want it public or private (or something to that effect) and i opted for private (and then shared it with everyone here on BB ).
Oh and i had better send out a big PHAT congratulations to Stoked in here as well! Congratulations on bringing your beautiful newest blue addition into the world safe and happy at home it is so wonderful and i am so so happy for you all, it is just such a precious experience and journey xx
That's just beautiful Cassius (think I watched it before) you look awesome! Way to good to have just had a baby. Love the joyous expression on your face after she is born!
aw thanks so much Em and Jennifer (sorry Jennifer, didnt see your post at first)! and yeah, the joy that i felt (can still feel when i think of that day!!) was just so so amazing. i never knew that birth could be that IYKWIM, i never knew that you could actually birth with laughter. i still feel like the cat that got the milk when i think back and remember how there was no pain, just joy and excitement....
if only i could do it all again!

Aaww, just beautiful Cassius, absolutely beautiful - I feel teary with joy now.
Oh, I can't wait to do it again!
Congratulations Loulabelle- great news.
Hi to all
The birth was amazing! Very quick and much easier than my last two! Zac must have been very ready to come as it all just flowed and felt so 'right' ITMS?! DH nearly missed the birth while dropping DS1 at my parents place after a last minute decision it was too hard with him there after all! I got into the pool when it was half full as I couldn't stand waiting any longer. Backup midwife and trainee midwife both didn't make it in time! I'm so smitten with my little boy! A bit sad that he is to be my last but excited about our future as a family of five
Will catch up for persies once I'm on the big computer xx
YAY! so happy to hear from you Stoked! i know right?! it is so hard when you realise that this was the last go, the last time to birth a baby...but so true, planning ahead to the great wonderful things ahead is the next happy stage
Dont think i'll ever be YAY thats it i never have too birth, breastfeed ect again. It means we are/have enjoyed this stage. Doesnt mean we wont enjoy the next too! But I totally understand, i even got emotional the other day giving Miss M her first solids...thinking that could be the end to those lovely breastfed poos in my house...... how sad is that!
Congratulations on your amazing birth, glad DH didnt miss it! Was your DD there?
Do you (or did you) have a back up midwife organised, if for some reason your midwife couldn't make it? I am only having one midwife (by choice), but my student midwife asked me about a back up midwife and i realised i hadn't thought about it.
HotI: yeah I had a second midwife and a student midwife. Maybe speak to your midwife about it, I only met my second midwife on the day but I think for me it may have been better if I knew her but my main midwife understood and did make the introduction good (as good as it can be ) if that makes sense.
I am using a m/w from a group of five. I met our second m/w at the first appt. If for any reason my first is not available then one of the others comes with the second m/w. They discuss every mum at their weekly meetings, so I'm happy with the arrangement.
I'm having a meeting with my MW tomorrow. It will be my first real one since DH and I interviewed her about 5-6 weeks ago. We arnt having two midwives as DH is a senior dr and she said she really only needs a second set of hands in case of an emergency to draw up drugs etc. Since DH could so lots of things on his own if push came to shove, I am happy with just one. I think if something happened and my MW couldn't come that there are enough mw's in the local area that I could call to come over and take her place that it won't matter.
Looking forward to the appointment tomorrow. We will have quite a bit of stuff to go over at that point so it will be good. I haven't been thru my past birth notes with her yet so maybe we will do that tomorrow.
Stoked- really glad your birth was so great. I have a gf whose hb I will be attending any day now and hope that her's is as lovely as yours.
I am having trouble finding a primary midwife- I haven't even considered the issue of a back-up one!
I called a midwife today - She isn't practising at the moment. She has been unwell.
Another midwife that was recommended to me has recently moved to Sydney.
The midwife that I spoke to today recommended another midwife- she lives about an hour away, so I don't even know if she will travel that far. She also suggested a birthing support group where I could access 'lay' midwives- so I guess she was eluding to the possibility of me freebirthing, maybe?
Oh well, I will persist as best I can.
Bella- I hope you have a great appt. tomorrow. I love your new avi!
