Homebirth General Discussion #7

[Jennifer13]

Sorry girls, yesterday ended up being a day of early labour and rest. Not all for nothing though, I've woken to lots of mucus at 3am and regular, don't mess with me, contractions. So I've given up on sleeping and I'm passing some time downstairs until they're a bit closer and lasting a bit longer to get my doula and m/w out of bed.

It seems I might have been right about my baby's birthdate for the whole pg. How freaky is that?

Hi Jen, I hope all is going smoothly for you this morn.
HotI, I hope you got some relaxing sleep after your watermelon. My tummy was feeling a bit ordinary during the night.

I had an interesting experience with DS2's birth. During preg, I said that I wanted a three hour labour, and I wanted him to be born in March (not Feb, as my DD's b'day is at end of Feb). I ended up going in to labour at midnight on 28 Feb, and DS2 was born at 3.01 am on 1 March! I got my 3 hr labour and my March bub!

Sorry to crash your thread!

Just sending all my very best wishes for a beautiful birth to Jen

May strength, calm and love surround you and guide your little one's entrance into this world in equal measure x

(I will continue to stalk!)

Jen: that would be cool! I know that I dreamed of birthing during the day, that was my one big wish and I got it

HotI: how are you going? xx hope that you have got some rest, or...are having a baby LOL!
