~~* NATURAL BIRTH MAMAS TO BE CHECK IN ~~*

easjer05 · October 2008

"natural childbirth n.

A method of childbirth in which medical intervention is minimized and the mother often practices relaxation and breathing techniques to control pain and ease delivery." https://www.answers.com/natural childbirth

This is a list for all ladies planning an unmedicated, vaginal delivery. Please post here with your due date, and whether you plan to deliver at home, hospital or birth center to be added to the list. If there are any special notes you would like added (w/doula, out of country, waterbirth, birth method, etc.) then please list that as well! I do ask that, if you want to be added, you plan to come back and join in the discussion regularly, as well as plan to share your birth story with us when the time comes. You are also MOST welcome to come back after your birth and give us the benefit of your experience!

Check in will be on weekdays around 11 a.m. CST on the Babies on the Brain board.

Congratulations to all the September Mamas! Good luck to all our October Mamas!

HollyLuv · October 2008

Highs: baby is HYPER! I can't get her to stop moving all night.

Lows: My uncle went missing on Monday and was found dead on Wednesday, he had been attacked by a Grizzly bear while on a hike just outside of the city.

easjer05 · October 2008

OMG, Holly, I'm so sorry to hear that. My condolences to your family.

Jason'swife · October 2008

Me Me!

HollyLuv · October 2008

Thanks so much

armandos_girl · October 2008

Highs - it's less than a week until my first appt! Woot!

Lows - miscarraige dreams suck and make me paranoid.

Jason'swife · October 2008

OMG Holly! That's horrible! I'm so sorry

. Of all the random things that could happen to someone....

easjer05 · October 2008

Jason's (heh, my dh is Jason too) I need your stats to add you.

HollyLuv · October 2008

Thanks Jason'sWife. We are all shocked still, it isn't something you think happens to people often, let alone your family. Unfortunately it turns out the bear and her 3 cubs had been reported numerous times over the last month, but the parks & wildlife service isn't allowed to relocate bears without cause, and now they will probably have to destroy it because it is within 1 mile of a subdivision.

hula_lula · October 2008

May I be added please?
EDD June 13- OB, hospital

easjer05 · October 2008

Of course, welcome hula!

Holly - that's just tragic all around.

lindseyMc · October 2008

Hi Ladies!
Can i please be added to the group?
Due April 8th, Planning a natural water birth at a birthing center. Touring/orientation/meet the midwives tomorrow.

Thanks!

LittleEgypt · October 2008

Highs: Hot sex OMG! DH has been sick and giving me the cold shoulder until last night.

Lows: Back to belly dance after missing some classes, and had to take it much easier than I wanted to. I'm afraid I might have some muscle separation that's making things less comfortable.

emilie1116 · October 2008

High: Things have been going well financially. Also, my older sis just announced she's pregnant (her third). And we are taking a trip this weekend and I get to go to a TJMAXX and malls! Woo hoo

Low: FF keeps changing my O date so I'm not positive when I O'd!

Amy H · October 2008

Highs: Baby girl is still doing great as of Monday

Lows: I'm still pg and getting more frustrated by the day It's getting hard to stay positive... I'm trying but it's getting hard is all...

Amy H · October 2008

Oh, not sure if you want the update, but I know Cocoapuff had to go through a c-section the last part of last week due to GD and not progressing at all. I haven't heard an update from her since but hope that she and her new daughter are doing well.

jgeiman · October 2008

Six days to have a natural childbirth....

Due to PIH and some other minor complications we've had the past few weeks, we are scheduled to induce next Thursday. I'm not thrilled, but I understand the reasons why.

Still hoping she'll decide to come on her own before then....

Shannonfitz83@yahoo.com · October 2008

Holly - I'm so sorry for your loss! Be careful!

I haven't been to my 1st appt yet but as of now my DD is May 19th.

I'd like to use a midwife and have a waterbirth and plan to take the Bradley method classes.

I'm so happy to find this area! Thanks!

MmeA2006 · October 2008

Hi, would you please add me? I'm due the first week of May, around May 7. I'm not sure about birth method yet, planning on talking to OB at next appointment.

QOTD High: maybe telling parents this weekend

Low: nothing, really, other than being nervous about telling parents this weekend

I wish I had cravings, but my morning sickness just means I feel carsick all the time and have absolutely no appetite.
