Homebirth General Discussion #7

[Jennifer13]

Jennifer: just check with your GP re the synto. My IM just comes with it. Vit K i think was different as it is not considered standard ITMS.

My m/w gave me a letter to give my GP that requested both. It covers them legally, because then it's been prescribed by a dr. An extra precaution.

I'm going to have the Group B strep test as well, but just from an awareness POV. I won't be taking ABs 'just in case' as there doesn't seem to be much point.

Bella, that must have been frustrating. Remember that's their fears and discomfort, not yours. As the ob I saw the other day said, Jesus was a freebirth! LOL

Bella: that's tough when you are surrounded by people not accepting of homebirth hopefully you can change their minds after you have a wonderful homebirth.

On the synto I was given a script that I filled and kept it in the fridge never needed it though. And we didn't have Vit k, MW says she rarely gives it at homebirths (was our choice of course).
