Congrats on the healthy arrival of Kaiden. WOW 55 hours hun - that's so long -you must have been absolutely shattered by then. Hope you are recovering well and that little Kaiden takes well to the breast feeding xxxxx

Aww hun, glad your little boy is here. Hopign the BFing starts getting better and you get home with him nice and soon

Does anyone if being anemic can be another reason for your MW to try and oppose a HB?

My Hb came back at 9.7 at 37 weeks and one of my mw's tried to put the dampeners on things saying things like I'd prob need to go under hospital / consultant led care if it didn't come up quickly enough -had me in tears lol- I then spoke to the home birth co-ordinator and she wasn't bothered by it at all -as long as I was aware of any risks, that I was taking my iron tabs and plenty of vitamin C and I was sure I still wanting a home birth then she said that's all that mattered.

Huge congratulations Gina Well done, can't wait to see pics of the wee fella


Due#1-2010, my levels have been hovering at between 9.7 and 10 for ages and our MW isn't fussed. She said any lower than 9 she may start to be a little concerned but by that point I'd feel pretty rough anyway and as things stand, I feel great so she is happy. I am taking 2 Spatone a day, eating lots of fruit and drinking my organge juice so she is still very supportive of us having our HB xxx

Well ladies 6 days over, and induction booked for 27th July -really hope I dont have to wait that long; and that I get my home birth too.

I had a membrane sweep today -was really surprised as I didn't think that I'd be favourable or baby low enough and both were good to go. So yay!!!!

Was 2-3 cm dilated, membranes bulging and lost some plug during examination too- so fx'd for me ladies please xxxxx

My MW even said she wouldn't bother booking my induction or any further appts for further sweeps etc as she sure I'll not need any more -I hope she is right!!!! I made her go ahead with my induction date though as I need a date in sight to focus on. So one more week baby and then they take me in and break my waters -no need for pitocin or anything as she says there is no need.

Nothing as yet -but still hopeful. Really going to be disappointed tomorrow if nothing happens lol xxx

Good luck Wannabubba! How exciting!

Missy is playing with us, last Wednesday and Sunday evening were filled with "weirdness" and on timing on Sunday, BHs (so we now know!) that were down to 8 minutes apart and then nothing! Got MW coming round again tomorrow and then I am not sure if we will see her again before she makes her big arrival....

Ooooh Pops it sounds hopeful I had proper huge contractions this morning coming 5 mins apart. They just built up and i was having to concentrate to go through them but thankfully they have gone down and now just coming randomly and not very sore now With Tabs i had this leading up to labour the two weeks before and then i just went straight into 5 mins apart contractions from nothing

FX'd baby stays put for another 2 weeks and 6 days though knowing my luck i'll end up going overdue with all this
