Home Birth

Hi! I’m due in January! I’m so excited to meet her and also ready to not be pregnant anymore haha.

Any other home birth mamas out there?!

My first was a hospital birth and this baby will be born at home. Looking to connect with others :)

I’ve always thought it would be so neat for a water birth at home. My first son was all natural and he ended up getting stuck on my spine for hours and I was in labor for 56 hours! I just told myself if I don’t have to do that again, I won’t! So I got the other induced with a epidural and it just went way better for us both! Having baby number 4 in March so I will get induced again or at least get the epidural! More power to you mama! You got this! I just know I want to be in a hospital in case there’s any complications and also bc I don’t want to experience the pain when I don’t have to go through that again! Be proud though as your body does incredible thing! Praying for a safe and healthy delivery for you both healing too!

Meee! :)
I had my five year old at home and am planning a home birth for this baby as well. My due date is January 12th but I’m kind of expecting to have baby before then. My first was born at 37 weeks and 5 days.

I’m also very ready to not be pregnant anymore. 😆😆 The reflux has been making crazy!!

Most of my friends have had home births, - we’re due in January and planning to birth at home as well. I’ve read many of my friends home birth stories and I can’t wait to meet my first girl.

Baby #4 will be at home! First 2 were hospital births and my last was at a birthing center. Can’t wait to stay at home with this one!

My second was an accidental home birth

I can most def relate to the feeling lol. This is baby #4 for me. My first two were born at the hospital, my son was an unplanned home birth (husband delivered him), and this baby will be a planned home birth. Starting to get everything in place as of now. As I’m also due in Jan!

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
