Tell me again, why do I want a VBAC homebirth?

[Tegam]

Sounds like u have answered your own question my dear! Your heart know what you want and your body knows what 2 do! Trust/patients/kindness 4 urself is all u need now.....

Good luck and I look forward to reading your beautiful birth story soon!

[Tegam]

forgot 2 say that u decided very late that u were going to have a homebirth, so u have a lot of emotions to process in a short amount of time. if you had planned a hb from the start you could have processed these feelings and armed yourself against other concerns well before labour seemed so close. IYKWIM???

The way women are socially conditioned is detrimental to our beliefs around birth and our bodily capability. Think of all the birth scenes you've ever seen on tv, they ALL have screaming, coached pushing, and a doctor saving the day. Then think of all the homebirths you can watch on youtube. An unhindered homebirth is calm and safe! Watch lots of homebirth videos, talk to your mw about your fears, and protect yourself from the lies that people who know nothing about homebirth have

In a few weeks you'll be able to say "I did it, I had my baby AT HOME"!

Your heart know what you want and your body knows what 2 do!

That is so right Tegam!

Fourthontheway,
The first time I watched the calm homebirth I could not believe my eyes, I couldn't believe how ignorant I was and how I've been blinded by scary stories & scenes for screaming women giving birth! Now I know the truth and I feel really good about it

Thank you both for the kind words. I feel in peace now and actually looking forward for the big day!

[Tegam]

Yes you think about that same seen of a women sitting or lying on a bed screaming giving birth. Its nuts, but then again i think i would scream if someone stuck me on my back. As it is i sound like a cow Moooooooooo and walk around the room like im a monkey ! But hey it works for me!

[LadyNoor]

Yes, I forgot about being stuck on their back!

LOL for your mooing-monkey posse! I'll try to remember that when trying to find comfortable position for me!

You sound like you are in a great place to birth your baby right now
Do you know if you have a local homebirth group? May be good to have a bit of contact with ppl IRL.

Your birth is going to be AWESOME and I can't wait to read about it

[LadyNoor]

Somebody did mention to me about local homebirth support group, but I just forgot trying to find out about it

Thanks Tanya, I can't wait to write one either!
