Homebirth Preparation Questions

[Alan]

I carry synto and used it as a last resort. In fact I have only used it once in the past 2 years and that was only after trying fundal massage breastfeeding emptying the bladder and eating some placenta.

Alan my Mw said she went to use hers and when check the useby date it was out so had to get another m/w to bring some..
she mostly uses homeopathics now as well as all you have mentioned.
Do you use 5w or recomend it? its an AWESOME uterine 'conditioner' for birth and great for after too.. it is only used for the last 5 weeks of pg though

[Alan]

I don't know about 5w. Tell me more

Well done on opting for a home birth, I would love to have a home birth one day but I dont think I will get the chance with all the stupid things going on with it lately. Women should be able to make their own mind up, and I am so glad you have. I have a very stupid question and would love some help. I am newish to this and would like to know how I can put new posts up? Please help if anyone can.

Yeah I was lucky in that my mum can help out. I think it's appalling what our government is doing to women's choices in respect to birthing. No one has the right to tell you what to do and I think that as is with anything in life - if the risks are measured and managed - why can't this be just as safe as a hospital birth?

Ok - as for the new posts, when you go to the main page of a forum, in the top left hand side you'll see a little button that says "new thread" - just click on that and you'll have a blank thread template.

Once you've finished what you wanted to write, hit "submit thread" and you'll be right

Oh that is really reassuring the read........minus the eating some placenta? I've never heard of that - what does it do Alan?

Which reminds me to ask. My husband asked what we do with the placenta. I just figured we'd bury it in the big gardenia pot I have...... what would you suggest?
