My VBA2Cs Home Waterbirth

I would quite like that this time too instead of the drama lol

Hi ladies:)..I can't wait...due 15/12 at home in the birthing pool (baby willing)...lol..Congrats to you both!

Wow thanks for that story! I have just found this website, had the OHbaby book out from the library, and am mum of two with baby 3 on her way. I have had 2Cs and am pushing for a VBAC for this one. I am starting Hypnobirthing classes to try and help me believe that I can do this...your story has really given me hope. I'm in Chch where were you? And do you know any midwives who'd support it in Chch?

Hi everyone getting excited about the home waterbirth...I'm 36 weeks now and counting down...the birth team have been given their duties...lol...except hubby who I will have to tell on a daily basis otherwise he will forget and keep asking me...he's more worried about having a tidy house for the birth team!...lol...best of luck to you mummy3...I hope you find someone, Toni's absolutely right. I got rejected 20 times before I found this site and she gave me Ruth's number...just as well I'm in South Auckland too...I'm sure you'll find someone..don't give up

Counting down...can' t wait...I'm getting so excited and nervous all at the same time..I was induced with my girls so I don't know what to expect for a natural labour...*biting nails*...37 weeks and 4 days now...we set the birth pool up the other night just to make sure Hubby and the girls were all good to go...had to dismantle it though but it's sitting in the lounge ready to be used...I can't wait...I'm feeling sooooo positive about this it's like I'm 5 again and waiting till Xmas to open my presents...lol.,literally ..lol...thanks Toni:)...you're my inspiration:)

Ditto what NeivaD said, just relax & go with it, you will be great

ooooowww Good luck hun - you can so do it - home waterbirths are amazing!!!   

Oh thanks heaps..I'm 40 weeks and 1 day today...had my appointment with Ruth and we did the acupuncture thing for 20 mins so here's hoping that bubs will make a move within the next 24 hours...she also left me some herbal meds to help out..lol..can't wait...

Thanks Toni:) That's a relief..I went to do some errands at the mall earlier and could feel tiny wee twinges down there...so here's hoping..the herbal meds Ruth left for me is gross! but I've had 2 doses so far and it's a good feeling that I'm doing something proactive to give bubs a hand with making their grand entrance...last night I had such a huge appetite I couldn't stop eating! then I had gas all night and went for a good loose bowel movement this morning so I'm feeling quite hopeful that the next few days might see some progress...if not I'll be seeing Ruth again next wednesday and she's mentioned a scan and visit with the specialist at 10 days overdue...aarrgghh..not keen for either but it's just for a check to make sure bubs bag is stll full of the good stuff and not drying up...i'm soooo excited..i can't wait:):)

lol..hey that's pretty hardcase alright...fingers x'd that will happen to me on wednesday if not before then..lol..yeah the stuff she gave me is birth prep stuff and it's foul but as it's only 2mls twice a day until Sunday, it's manageable...then it's 3 times a day until wednesday then it's 5mls 3 times a day until birth! I'm really hoping it will work its magic well before then lol...i had really bad heartburn last night...took over 2 hours to subside and I finally went to sleep after 1am...but waking up this morning, it still hasn't quite gone away and im burping alot...my tummy is rock solid and I'm starting to feel rather uncomfortable sitting up...i can't believe it's Xmas next week, time sure does fly...
