Hi
We might come along this week..depending on how the boys are feeling..I had a cold but am getting over it.
Wannabaskinnybinny I had two emergency c-sections in a row and for my 2nd birth I had planned on a VBAC, I had a VBAC info session with a midwife and had hired a doula who had a VBAC herself..but it didnt happen...IF we ever have another bub I will have an elective c-section.
Hopefully get to meet some of you guys this week....Bye for now

Hi Nicola, yer my 2nd was a planned VBAC but nothing that was done via hsp was conducive to that happening... Hated having C-sec, Oscar was born not breathing, had to be resucitated due to me having to have a general so not real keen to do that again! and the whole c-sec is just crap, had drain tube in, felt them getting pulled out, not fun... And the higher infant & Maternal death rates, doesn't really inspire me to have another!!
Anyhoo, can only cross my fingers & toes and put as much in place as I can to have a successful VBA2C...
Would love to meet you so hope u can make Thursday

Hiya ladies....
We went to Riverway this am for a family morning out,its really nice there hey, never been there before and the kids just loved it.. but how stupid are we, we forgot the bloody nappy bag and rori done a poo! so our lovely family was cut short but made up for it with hungrys for lunch...
my csect wasnt as dramatic as yours cayce but i still didnt like it, i prefer a natural just for closeness and calmness.. csect was calm but to bright and mechanical..
anyhoo, i best be off, sort kids out and stuff... so 10.30 at which park... sorry i forgot to write it down haha..
and noone got sick from my cooking last night either....

Im definately up for the park on Thursday but 10:30am suits me better too (will put kiddo's back to bed after dropping DH off at 6:30am so my toddler doesnt spack it during the day) as they dont usually wake til 8:45am. By all means start at 9:30 if its better for most I'll just rock up later and see if your all still there. Um how will I know who you guys are??
Seems alot of women are unhappy with their csection experiences and it makes me 1000% more grateful that I have never had to have one even with my crappy pregnancies. My OB's knew theyd have to strap me down to do it if they even suggested it so they worked really hard to avoid it at all costs. Good on you for trying a VBAC ladies!
Cayce, I have a friend up here that is wanting a VBA2C as well, Im giving her a hand with finding Drs, support etc when its time so I'll pass on info to you when I come across it!

Glad to hear your dinner was enjoyed by all Em
Its at I think the park is called Rossiter Park, enter via Kimball Streeet, Aitkenvale... The park is right nxt to the carpark, cant miss it and over looks the River. 10:30 seems to suit everyone, so we will def be there then...
Anna, Thanks for that. every little bit of info is appreciated... The doulas here are GREAT and have a lot of knowledge so I feel like Im in good hands...
I guess we will be the group w lots of little people running round lol... Its only a small park so you wont miss us...

Cool, I just looked it up in the street directory... we need to get a navman soon i think!! pretty easy to get too so should be fun! 10.30.. im hoping the twins would have a nana nap before hand but see how we go.. even they get 20min in the car before we get there would be great, otherwise it will be a short play for us! its so hard to get 2 babies in sync sometimes....
ill be the one luggin heaps of bags and a double stroller!!! ill be driving a black commodore if that helps at all.. which is for sale if anyone knows someone wantng to buy a good reliable car.... its only a yr and a half old.... .....
k, better start this night time routine........

i so wanna meet all you lovely ladies but is too far away for me LoL!!
Seems c/s is a big topic atm, with both my children i was petrafied that something may go wrong and would have to have one! With DS he had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice and i was getting very tired and bub was stressing so the doc was stressing and thinking it may have led to that but thankfuly i managed to get bub out it time it scares the crap out of me LoL! But it done everyday now! I just dont understand women who dont have any problems wat so ever, first baby and choose a c/s?
Well i better go indy getting louder sorry bout the no persoanls

Hi girls!
I am def up for a meet this week if I am not moving or busy with Real Estate stuff. I will keep you posted.
Emma - I braved it and went down to the strand this arvo and we almost got blown away!!! It was nice in the sun but just to windy! Don't you hate it when you forget the damn nappy bag!
Shauna - Yep managed to go for xray on Saturday morning. But as I said thismorning, its playing up again. I could barely move thismorning. After I took some of those anti-inflammatory tabs it settled down.
Hey Anna. If you are on the lookout for OB's, PLEASE CHECK C-SECT RATES!!!!! Esp in Townsville!
BTW - I watched your Birth Montage lastnight. It was beautiful. You had some awesome pics! Very nice indeed.
Well as I said to Shauna, my back is playing up again. I have to make another app with the chiro tomorrow. Hopefully i can get in this week! I really need to know whats going on.
Hi
Im going to try and make it on thursday.
Looking forward to meeting everyone

Thanks for the tip. As far as I know the OB I see is all for natural birthing if it can be achieved so I might ask her what her stance is on VBAC and VBA2C. Ah my montage lol My friend took the pics while she was watching, I want to video this time but Im not sure Im game enough.
Oh while I remember, has anyone in here had a baby at the Mater Private (old or new)? Its where I am booked in to give birth and just wondering what its like. Looks alright.
I *should* be at the meetup thursday. We just bought a new car so hopefully it will be on the road by next week. I have to get it rego'd and put over the pits etc so not sure when I'll be doing that. Anyone know a decently priced mechanic I can get to put it over the pits?
Hi everyone,
I am an RN/student midwife. I usually work at TTH but have been at the Mater for the last month as part of my final rotations ( only a few months before I'm a real MW! lol) Anna I noticed you were asking what its like there. It looks really nice with the family rooms and everything but it is very Dr orientated and the C-section rate is ridiculously high so I would recommend that if you are birthing vaginally to be firm with the MW and OB in what your desires and needs are. If you want a natural birth, give your body every opportunity to give it a go. I just noticed that women can be swayed into thinking its the only choice they have and while you're in pain and your emotions are going crazy its easy to go that way. If you have a strong support person with you that helps. It all depends on the OB too, some of them give you extra time but others have the view that ' the most natural birth is via c-section' as quoted by one of them a few weeks ago. (no comment there!)
The birthing suites are nice enough, they dont have any bath tubs but everything else is pretty much the same as TTH.
I hope that info is enough, if you want to know more just ask me.
