December Snowflakes - 2011 Babies - IT IS FINALLY OUR MONTH!

I think it works rly well if youve a complimentary medicine as well, like shiatsu, or yoga or aromatherapy, just gives you an extra service to offer to your clients. I rly liked the idea of another doula who did birthing yoga too, but from her emails she seemed quite passive and I want someone whos gonna have a big row with the consultants if needs be

Just a little update. I had my dating scan and i am not officially due on 24th December now not the 28th

Why would you need an Inde MW because of the Twin birth? Bit ignorant here about that sort of thing. Id imagine if you need two MW because of two babies then the NHS would provide you with that. The PCT have a responsibility to send someone to you for a HB whether they agree with your decision or not. Might have to argue with them a bit but a doula can help you with that.

Basically, when we thought this pregnancy was a singleton pregnancy i was told by the midwife that i would have to have a C Section or an episiotomy due to the tearing i experienced with my first daughter. I know there is no way they would 'allow' a homebirth with one child let alone two! I am doing this alone so do not have a partner to back me up and support me. I figured going the IMW way was probably the easiest, but i may need a lottery win first!!

Might be easier yeah but I have no idea how much they would charge. I'd just get your facts together and go in and tell them you're having a home birth and here's the address for the mw to get to when she's needed end of story. They'll send someone. They have to. Also talk to the actual consultant rather than someone lower down in their team. If they agree to things then get it in writing so other professionals will follow it

Though my tummy is killing! Baby really didn't want NT done! Any guesses girls?

I'm not too knowledgeable about the nub theory but my 2 guesses have been correct. I think that's a girl nub.

Anyone having a doula? Mines coming round in half an hour, hope we get on!

I'd love a doula but not sure we'll be able to budget for one. Certainly not at this point anyway.

I've had lots and lots of girly guesses you know! Saying that I don't have a preference lol.


I'm a plum today

ETA Welcome Queen Lavera :wave:

 

[cranberry987]

Yey plum!

Last two nights I've not woken up to pee once. Can't quite believe it. Was going 4-5 times which is a lot more than usual. I assumed it would carry on or at least peter out. But it's gone. Yey

New Doppler arrived today, the hi bebe. Hopefully this one will be a bit better than the angelsounds. Will sell that one on fleabay

Have a good day all

[Jennifaerie]

Happy Birthday xxx I'm thinking of selling my Hi Bebe doppler on. I got a right old telling off from my MW for using it lol. Now I'm past 12 weeks she says if ever I'm worried I should call her instead of trying to self diagnose.

I fell over this morning :sad: really banged my knee. DH was panicking and trying to get me to get checked out lol. Pretty sure smudge is well padded :hehe:

[Jennifaerie]

So sorry you're having a hard time with the headaches Lynni! Worth giving docs/ opticians a call?
