Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

Mum23 will you be able to have your home birth if you are being induced ?

I had my growth scan on Friday and my little man was 3lb which is the exact average weight that is quoted for his gestational age. He is lying in breach position at the min ( but that could have changed last night as he was very active)

I am getting nervous about the birth though. Last night I had a dream that I had a very short labour at home and had a baby girl in my own bed. But then I panicked because I only had boy clothes and I wouldn't hold her in boy clothes because she was not the son I was expecting. MADNESS

mum23boys- hoping it is just the way babe is lying hate to get on that sizing game as they can be off and leads to a lot of unnecessary inductions
i thought measuring a lil ahead was normal?? what issues did you have birthing a bigger babe? i thought your last was a hb?

I know there are a very small percent of women who actually have trouble birthing bigger babes but if you have never even been given the chance(induced early) or pushing lying in hossy bed vs- better more upright postions or hands/knees, and other factors that can affect our labor. Hope you get to talk to mw's that are actually for homebirths/natural births. Funny how different it is. Here you have mw's that only do homebirths(no hossy privileges) and your nurse mws that work in hossy under doctors and sometimes also work in birthing centers and small % homebirths too.

Praying4pink - Sorry to hear about your husband's uncle, hope the shower is coming along well and all the other things you have on the go! Hope you're feeling good.

Mum - Don't you always carry big? Were they concerned your previous pregnancies?


As for me: I had my check up today, all is well, she's super impressed with babies size. She originally said we wouldn't have another prenatal appt before my surgery but now she has switched me to weekly appts? Not sure why she changed her mind but oh well. I had to book my pre-op appts too, so I have one on the 6th with my GP and one on the 21st with the hospital. When we see my regular doctor on the 6th for pre-op we are also getting DH a referral to a vasectomy clinic so he get set up his consults etc. and book to have it done the end of June. Ohhh exciting times, next month is going to be a busy one lol. 25 more days!

is he getting his vas. after babe is born? might be easier before so he has some time to relax and heal after and you don't have to take care of him and the kids:)

CVD: why is DH getting a vasectomy when you are having a Caesar? Isn't it easier for both of you to just tie your tubes at the same time? (Since they are in there anyway)

Yes after once baby is about a month so ill be mostly recovered and because he has 5 weeks off work. We decided not to do it before, he can't take time off prior.
