Thanks Bella
Em, I am glad all is well with bub- how scary. :hug: I hope you were able to salvage some kind of celebration for your b'day.
Bella, that is hilarious! Have you checked your MW's notes- was your neighbour right?!
I think I am pretty quiet- my mum was asleep in an adjoining room when DS2 was born; and the kids were in another adjoining room- and they slept through it too.
Oh Em! that must of been a bit scary :comfort:...and yep, going to be hard to rest with a 1 year old lol!
Bella: Love it lol! thankfully we have thick double brick walls in all the houses in our street :lol:
oh em, that's not good. glad all is ok now. that must have been very scary for you.xxxx
bella- love it! love that your neighbor was actually timing them too. I've been quite noisy in my last two labours so I imagine ill be the same.

Yeah louloubelle, that is what I found so interesting about it! That she was obviously very interested in what was going on. Which is what makes me both kinda celebrate that it was a real community event and that some of the women in my street got to be apart of it even in a really vague way. Dd went next door for a bath with her doula and so they knew about it. The whole street other than our elderly next door neighbors knew. So when they saw all the cars arrive, they told me later, they all knew and were very excited about it. Kinda cool really. None of them are hb families. They are just our community and were excited for us.
oh bella that is similar to what happened for us lol. i was in labour and decided to go for a walk, everyone knew we were having baby at home, so when we bumped into various neighbours on our walk we told them that she might be arriving that day! it was so lovely! and fortuitious as we scored a whole bunch of hot meals a few hours later :ROFL: i even had the old italian lady (80 years old) come over and cuddle me and DD2 in bed a few hours later...she was so overjoyed, and, yeah, like you said, it brought a real sense of community, that in a way, they were part of it IYKWIM.
That's lovely, Cassius!
Thinking of Ash and Loulabelle ... Happy birthing vibes!
I had my last m/w visit today. :( she was here for over two hours and had lunch. Bub is now over 4.5 kgs and has grown 8 cm, so she's jumped up to completely average sized from her small beginnings. She won't get weighed much from here because I'm slack. Lol Everything's good with me, back where it should be.
She gave me a copy of her article on high risk HBs so I'm going to have a good read now.
thanks Jen xxx that's fantastic gain for your dd! how are you feeling about it being the last appointment?
bella and cassius- I love it! I wish I could get that here bit we don't know any neighbors yet. also, I don't even know if which house ill birth in, we move Thursday!
finally started rlt and epo, kept forgetting so it probably won't be of all that much benefit by the time labour comes. I was going to insert epo, but (tmi !) when I went to I discovered I was somewhat open down there so decided to just take orally instead. pretty exciting even though it really means nothing at all as to when this baby will come.

Thanks for asking Loulabelle, I'm a little sad that this birthing journey is officially over, but I still get to see my lovely m/ws every month at our get togethers. So my HB activities aren't done!
There's going to be a premiere screening of the doco The Face of Birth in Parramatta next mth and I'm going along. It's Australia's version of the Business of Being Born.
Loulabelle it sounds like it won't be long! Maybe baby is waiting until you've moved.
Hi all!
My precious bub is here! A beautiful boy! A glorious waterbirth at home. Labour was just under 3 hours; born at 2.07am. No tearing. He is a big bub for me- 4.26kg. All is well. My DD was at the birth, and she cut the cord. She also took some beautiful birth photos. My sons slept through the birth.
Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to have a waterbirth- it was amazing. I found it easier to relax between contractions. And I was able to stay comfortable and supported in positions that would have tired me on land.
Best Valentine's gift ever!
congratulations ash! born on edd too. so very happy that all went well. yay! can't wait to hear more. enjoy those newborn snuggles! well done.xxxxx
