Homebirth General Discussion #7

[HotI]

Thank you all for sharing your stories and encouragement. I don't always have the right words to write what i am thinking, but reading your posts lets me know my thoughts are ok, and affirms my plan of action.

My midwife did some rebozo techniques on me today to help bub in to position. I remember asking a year or so back what rebozo was (Cassius replied!), and today i got to see it (feel it) in action. Was amazing how quickly bub changed position and realigned him/herself.

Just had a relaxing spa, and heading to bed. Tomorrow, I am going to spend some time bouncing on my birth ball (DD loves the ball too!) and encouraging bub to keep their head in the pelvis.

I had another dream that i had twins last night! I have had similar dreams maybe 5 times this pregnancy. Fairly sure there is only one bub in there, but maybe it had a twin that didn't make it?

take care

HotI, I am thinking of you!

Perhaps twins signifies the two births you are processing right now, your dd's and your impending labour and your mind is suggesting you will be able to rebirth your dd? Birth always has a wild card to throw at you, so perhaps yours is this. Do you feel supported to work through some of your fears? These final days/weeks are all about the emotions. The baby's cooked and it's the other emotional stuff that matters now.

I cried a river of tears in my final week with ds...and he wasn't born until everything was as I imagined it.

Arcadia, interesting.... one of the twins was just like DD (a cheeky monkey) and the other was quite calm & chilled, and DDs birth does keep coming up. you could be on to something.
