helly

Stoked, I'm glad you're feeling better...I always remembered the importan things after my midwife left!! Don't be afraid to call her. I really recommend setting up a birth alter. I have a photo of mine in my album here on bb. It had a candle affirmations and crystals. I found it so great for connecting with ds in the lead up to his birth.

Jen I am so excited for you!! I find it funny the ob mentioned mess...it's seriously not an issue and the midwives clean up anyway. It's birth! So much more is going on to be worrying about mess!
And as for monitoring...I felt ds kicking the whole time, although the Doppler was used too.

Just subscribing

I'm happy to be on the list! Can't believe it's 5 weeks until my due date

[~Stoked~]

I'll be on the list! Due 5th august.
OMG PZ! 5 weeks!?!? That has gone so so fast, especially since I haven't been keeping up, not on FB anymore!

Oooh GUESS WHAT!?!? My old midwife has offered to be a support person at the birth! Just want to check with my new midwife that she doesn't mind (which I'm sure she won't, they're friends) and, as long as she is available, she'll be there!

Eeeeek I'm so happy! Let's just hope she's free that day!

[PumpkinZulu]

That's awesome Stoked Nothing like some good support!

For the list, I'm having a girl, if that's needed.

[Liz]

I'm June too 34 weeks tomorrow so crossing my legs for another 3 weeks then bub is welcome to make it's appearance

[HotI]

I have added a pink dummy for you PZ. We need better icon thingys!

[~Stoked~]

And I'm having another little boy

[~Stoked~]

I'm June too 34 weeks tomorrow so crossing my legs for another 3 weeks then bub is welcome to make it's appearance

Yes, hold on baby!
I remember being so anxious that i'd go into labour before 37 weeks and miss out on my home birth! I went to 42 weeks so all that stress for nothing!

[Liz]

Lol I can't even comprehend this being a July baby! If I go to 42 weeks it'll be the longest pregnancy ever cos I'm already thinking I could go any time lol. I'm pretty sure bub is still breech so I hope nothing happens soon.. Prob wouldn't end the way I'd like :/ but I'm not actively encouraging bub to turn yet either cos I worry that I tend to go into labour whenever my bubs engage :/ I have a scan next wed and if still breech then I'll get onto acupuncture etc to help.

[Lady-bug]

I'm due today... but nothing happening yet so will still be here for a while I think.
