Jen: I am also thinking about picking up an Ina May book while i am here. I miss my kitzinger book though (back at home!!!). so was thinking of getting the sarah buckley one to be my reading choice while we are travelling.
loulabelle: *mwah* he is going great guns with the feeding! how are the big kids going with the new arrival?
AFM: all good here. I have contacted my midwife back home and am on the books so exciting! so nice that i get to be with her again and not have to find someone. I dont have insurance to cover maternity here in the US though. soooo cross right now. it would be cheaper for me to fly back to Oz and have the scan done, but i want DH there so i will suck it up and spend a fortune to have them done here. i couldnt imagine doing it without him, especially if the news wasnt good IYKWIM.
What??! The scans must cost a bomb! We don't have maternity cover either... my H has to get a new job with maternity cover health insurance if we decide to have a baby here
Ina May was doing a talk in seattle when we first arrived... I was too swamped to go!!!! But maybe you'll be in luck and get to see her or some birthy types while you're in the US! I follow some local midwifery practices on FB for the local HB gossip
Joshua sounds divine loulabelle...feeling clucky just thinking of him! He sounds like a great feeder too.
Cas, that is insane! I hope you can save the money for the scans! I really liked the Sarah Buckley book, but it is pretty intense. For eg she's a bit anti ultrasound and even dopplers...her writing is very engaging though.
Thinking of all the pg mamas...hope you're all feeling well.
Hi everyone, I stuck my head in late last year, and sadly ended in miscarriage. But here I am again, almost 9 weeks pregnant, due in October (hot1 can you update me please!) I have not really wanted to ring the Dr or midwives yet, I have really for the first time ever not wanted to tell anyone about the baby, I keep waiting for it to change and slowly slowly something is starting to shift. We told the big sisters on the weekend and their joy filled me with much hope. I have contacted the homebirth midwife and she was very supportive, booked me in for the month I needed but said call back when I am 'ready' to start seeing her.
I guess by coming in here to say hello again, I am taking another step in believing that things will be different this time. I have certainly learnt alot about myself over the last few months, and I had an experience of miscarriage that was quite beautiful in it's own way. With my family at home, no intervention, so blessed really!
Hope you are all keeping well, I will come back and catch up on the threads later today....
