Xx- cream sounds great. I had horrible cracked nips w first for 1st few weeks of nursing and just expressed milk on them and air dry. Haven't needed anything for the others as they are nursing champs from the start.
Homebirths induction- can't picture a homebirth midwife doing an induction as they carry extra risks and need more monitoring. In the US depending on what state, like mine, they can't even write rx so they def. Couldn't but every country/ state is different. Also if you have back problems and you might need/want pain medication they can't give that either but again maybe they can in Germany. Something to discuss.

Fortunately I can get pain meds no problem and they are ones that can be used for birth. My closest friend here is a nurse and can set up my IV, or inject anything as needed. I could probably get the induction meds myself in another country but I'd rather have an experienced midwife/ob help out. Surely if paid enough someone would be willing? I'm only 20 min from a major hospital and if I stay in a hotel I can be 5 min from one.

I'm just so excited for a water birth!!! Hoping for it to be a natural birth & I think the water can help me achieve this! Also, I watched " Buisness of being Born" & the births were so beautiful... I want that!

Just popping in to share. I'm in Canada and so is my SIL but she's in a different province. She wanted a home birth but also wanted to get induced because she was 41 plus weeks. She had a midwife and what they did was took her to the hospital, gave her the induction cocktail, mostly herbs I think? And the brought her back home. She tried for a home birth but it didn't work out. She did however get a home birth finally for her third she just gave birth to in December. So yay!

Just wanted to share her induction story.

Mommy, thank you, great idea!

Ash, my mother went into labour while filming a commercial prenatal exercise video, it turned into a home water birth video! She have birth just a bit over an hour after contractions started, in our wood burning hot tub! 10lb baby boy, I was 7 so remember it all quite well. She loved it (I was a hospital birth, she was in labour for over 48 hours, forceps delivery & episiotomy against her wishes).

I'm thrilled for you Ash! I've had two waterbirths and absolutely loved them! It helps me so much to get in the water near the end. ��

I have done two water births as well. Think this one will be on land as this house is soo cold even with heat on. My 4 th child, 1st water birth, tricked me into thinking the water helped w pain lol. He came w absolutely zero pushing from me, didn't feel ring of fire, anything. Was only in the water for one ctrx. As I felt I needed to push and got in and then he was born. Next guy got in the water maybe 30 min. Before pushing( I like to walk and be standing mostly) and man that water didn't help one bit lol. And then there is the fun climbing out part w babe and placebta/ umbillical cord all attached bwahaha.
