*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Yo_Yo]

I would like a home birth, it seems so much more relaxing, well as relaxing as childbirth can be! Haha
And as you said yo yo you get two midwives, who will stay with you thought the labour. In the hospital this is not guaranteed you might just have one midwife and they can come and go depending on their shift.
I don't think it's allowed with twins though so might have to have a hospital birth

Aww your having twins? How lovely!

Double congrats!

I used to drive though a piece of Indiana on my way to work in Cincinnati. Indianapolis is really nice. I spent two days walking around the Monument Circle area doing photography, and have lots of great pictures.

I love Indianapolis. I miss it. We moved to southern Indiana in August. DH works in Louisville. I do really like it down here though.

Do you do photography? Is a business or hobby? I am working on starting my photography business. I love it.

As a hobby. I'd love to get into the business, but I don't have the experience. I just have a low end DSLR (Canon Rebel T3/1100D) and a couple of lenses. But I'm good at Photoshop!

[staceymxxx]

I'm due on october 4th.. had a very worrying time as just before i got pregnant i kept having a pain in my side my hcg on 27th was 113 & on the 30th it was 384 so i can relax a little now until saturday when i'm tested again haha x

Morning ladies! Anyone else still POAS? I cant seem to stop, although I only have one test left so I guess I will have too lol

you ladies wanting or doing a home birth are so much braver then me! To be honest I kinda look forward to the hospital. We have private rooms here. I love that I have the epidural. I also love the day or two where my meals are made for me and its just bub and be bonding before heading home to all the kaos.

dh was looking forward to visiting a few hospital/birthing centers here but i was refered to a maternal fetal specialist due to my small/narrow cervix and he has already warned us that a c-section might be better if we plan to have more children but only time will tell. he only has permissions at one hospital so we would be stuck with them. it would have probably been our choice anyway but its kind of bittersweet that we wont be able to do the research. yah well

Yes, poas this morning actually-was as dark as they go, so that's good.

When you using your last one?

I would like a hospital birth in a birth entire, I just don't think I'd get there in time! It's lovely getting your food made for you, it was like a hotel lol.

Never had an epidural-glad you know what works for you-that makes all the difference in labour.

I want to do gas and air if just water doesn't help, but I don't know if they do that here.

Hi ladies..

What do u guys think?
I had a little more pinkish discharge today... Hoping its the raw womb like my Tyne said. Still no morning sickness, boobs as sore as anything!

Last beta 2moro nd an ultrasound. I'm so nervous.

 

[zebadi]

Welcome all new mummy's 2be xxx

 

[mommyof2peas]

I took one this morning, this is what it looks like today. Slow to progress, but they are progressing

Wish we had that here!

 

[sprite30]

progression looks great mommyof2

betas sound wonderful, zebadi

what is gas and air? oh geez i had to google that. ive never heard of it.

 

[whigfield]

@mommyof2peas Yay for progression! They're coloring up pretty nicely! I found ICs always took a LOT longer to get decent lines.

Welcome staceymxxx!

@Zebadi Those numbers sound GREAT! Super excited for your scan tomorrow. I'm sure it will be fine.

@YoYo I LOVE the idea of a home birth but as this would be our first baby I don't even know if we'd be allowed...? Also, I have no idea how I'll cope in labour.. So I want the option of pain relief if I need it.

I think they are really good! i can't wait to hit 1000 so i get a scan x

 

[mommyof2peas]

Anyone getting round ligament pain? I read that you can only get them in the 2nd tri, but thats crap! lol

 

[zephyr]

Mommyof2peas Yeah ive had some of that pain already. Im getting all sorts of weird pains.

I'm not sure if I'm doing a home birth or not All my labours never went as planned.
my second I almost had at home and was too late for drugs as I had her just after walking in the door.
my third I wanted a water birth but I couldnt because my water broke and labour wouldnt start so I had an induction and my nasty midwife refused me pain meds
The twins I wanted a home water birth but once we knew it was twins we realised that wouldnt happen and again I had to be induced at 38 weeks.
soooo im a bit funny about making plans with this one. As much as I want a home water birth I think I may just go to the hospital as it saves getting my hopes up again! Also im not sure how the babies will react to mummy being in pain as they are still too young to understand.

I slept terribly last night!! Im so tired.

What kind of tests are those? Mine look the same they are internet cheapies and seem like they haven't been any darker but my hcg was 1400 so I know that's not the case.

 

[mommyof2peas]

Not sure, just internet cheapies. They are crap. I had a walmart test and a digi give me better lines then these test did. I just love to watch the tests get darker and these just suck for that.
