i have some updates (ie progress lol!). FINALLY managed to find a midwife that looks like 'the one'! i didnt realise how tricky it could be to find the perfect one that suits our needs on such a holistic level IYKWIM.
Anna: i am hoping to get to the maternity coalitions 'movie night' on the 18th of march where rhea is giving a talk...i look forward to it!
i will be going to a calmbirth class that is run by a good friend (and my second midwife for the birth!). we have a strong connection and thankfully she knows my story from last time and all the trauma that was involved so i feel comfortable that she will be able to guide both myself and DH through this process of healing...
i am wanting to have a waterbirth and was wondering if you guys know where to hire from? i know that my midwife will have options, but i though to also ask you wise women/men if you know of any secret squirrel places available here in melb!
feeling so happy to be out of the hospital system and away from midwives in uniform lol!
Yay! So glad you have a midwife! Sounds fantastic! And Rhea will absolutely impress.
I just did one of Di Diddle's childbirth classes, even though I was the only 2nd time mum there it was fantastic, informative and inspiring. Rhea did a section of the course and I was blown away by her knowledge, confidence, passion and strength. She is absolutely the sort of person you want around you when planning a birth. (Having said that Di was pretty fantastic too!)
If you are still considering a debrief about the last birth, you should make an appointment to see Rhea. I can imagine it would be very beneficial and very cleansing. I am talking with my DH about going to see her, I still feel there may be some things about the last birth I need to go through regarding his role and his involvement... I get the impression it will be very healing and very important.
