    Jen I'd love to see your photo if that's possible!

    Cassius - what a beautiful montage!! Pure joy

    *Ash* - hope that rain stays away later in the week!! Glad you finally got to see your m/w's! Sounds like everything is just about ready to go!

    DH is still editing my photos but once he's done I'll post here Today was his first day back at work which was pretty tough going on me - first day alone as a mama! I haven't prepared a meal since mid October! The lovely man made his lunch last night, but made extra to leave in the fridge for me

    Hi guys, haven't ventured in here for a while! Congrats to all the lovely ladies who had their babies

    Have a question though, and thought it would be best answered by you guys - I was discussing home birth with a friend of mine who is a student midwife, and we were talking hypothetically about me having one (haha) and she said I would never get a midwife to support me because I've had bleeds after DD2 and DD3 - and because it would be my 5th pregnancy that its too risky, and I'd more than likely have a big bleed and never reach the hospital on time (ie, I'd die....)

    Soooo... is that all true? Are you more at risk to bleed more each time?

    Hi Mel.....number five hey....im not going again either

    One of the many f%^k ups of my pregnancy with Molly Number 4 was the bull about me being ....almost number 5..... not five but almost number five so my chance of PPH were huge......

    I have never had a bleed after a baby but it was just another thing they used against me...

    So if i went again i can just imagine the $hit id be given for it being number five...... HOWEVER ......IF........ we go again i will NOT be stepping foot near a hospital so luckly i will not be there for said lecture If i cant find a MW to HB with i WILL freebirth....

    Hugs to everyone with the sad sad news from melbourne. I hope it wasnt anyones MW (only so they arent devisitated at the events...whatever they were) Sadly again it was probably something like a stroke that nothing could have been done but the media will use it as a cause to blame HB MWs AGAIN All very sad
