OH MY GOSH!! That's just amazing!! I see so many women with that tightening fear over them and this is just an EMPOWERING story. Natural birthing does reign true. Thank you for sharing!

I volunteered at a loval NCT birth choices info evening last night.

A really lovely night with some local businesses pedalling their photography/jewellery/maternity clothes and then women who had HB'd Doulas, IM's, Hypnobirthing practitioner, Aromatherapist, Reflexologist, Acupuncturist, Yoga teacher, Active birth teacher, NCT Antenatal class teachers, pregnancy mindfulness psychologist and the Head of Midwifery in East Kent! They even had a birth pool to show off.

The HoMW was there to explain the shake up of local midwifery and the suspension of 2 BC's locally, it was good to hear form the horses mouth what was happening but she was getting a little harangued.

I was there to speak to any mums about HBAC/VBAC..there was 1 lady who wanted to speak with me and she said she found it really helpful and I/m passing her all the links I have for stuff so I guess I've done a good deed LOL!

That's fab well done you.

I've been having lots of Braxton hicks the past few days, it's nice to know he's getting warmed up in there ready for the real thing

I had my home birth appt on thurs and my mw was fab! She was really on board with all of our wishes, the only thing she wasnt happy about was the alternative cord clamp but im willing to let that go for the sake of all the long list of things she is ok with!!

Cookie is starting to engage too, only 1/5 but shes heading the right way

Ive inflated the birth pool today, harry was modelling it for me and he kept peering in to it saying ''wheres the baby?''

 

[Rebaby]

That's great also, i love the look of your pool- what make is it?

Here's Toby trying out ours!

Mine wasn't happy about the cord tie either and said that I have to put it on myself. I don't mind doing that though. I don't see why it's an issue if the cord is left until it's stopped pulsating as it's no longer filled with blood

Pool looks great Harry looks very cute sitting in there.

I got the 'government guidlines.... red tape... protocol.... yada-yada' speech!!!

Ooh i like it Ours is the birth pool in a box eco mini.

I bought it from someone on ebay when i was just 22 weeks pregnant. Only paid £39 and got a few 'accessories' with it, like a brand-new unopened liner, hose pipe and thermometer, so i think we did quite well
