Here is a couple pictures of Wyatt. I will definatly check in once people are expecting but I finally don't feel the need to come here anymore as I'm completely content with my little boys and want to stay that way! Good luck everyone

He is just beautiful Coocoo!!

Suregena - in some ways I wouldn't mind a homebirth but after having group B strep with ds2 (that thankfully was picked up on early so I could have antibiotics) I'm too paranoid about something going wrong and not having the equipment on hand. With ds2 our car had broken down so we ended up having to get a taxi to take us the 1 hr journey to the hospital! Thankfully over here you only have to pay the first £20 and the state cover the rest - the total journey came to £200!!!! Eeek!
We have two cars at least now so that shouldn't happen - fingers crossed anyway lol!

So beautiful coocoo congrats again xo

Mummy - that scan is adorable !

In theory I'd love a home birth, but I'd be far too scared of something going wrong and not having medical attention at hand. I know if things turned I could call an ambulance, but there are so many unknowns that petrify me.

Such cute little babies! Cocooo, your Wyatt is GORGEOUS! I just want to squish him. How adorable. It makes me even more baby-crazy. May is sooooo far away! Lol.

As for decisions about birth, I am not the person to ask. I am just as tormented myself with our plans and what choices we have available to us. It's just so hard to feel confident in a plan when babies have a mind of their own. Home birth was on my radar, but I am not a canidate because of the clotting issue, so I am glad it was at least a clear answer of "no, this isn't a good idea for you." I am also not allowed at birth centers, so I at least don't have to make the hospital decision. But I have to make decisions on my plan to get there (it's an hour away) and other such nonsense. I wish I could tell you, I really do. But it's so hard to predict what will happen.

I have my GTT test on Friday and a good friend of mine just got word that she failed hers. I am terrified, since she is crazy-healthy and I am....um, not! Lol. But I just hope my body is reacting well to it all this time. Everyone in the house is currently sick, so that is really a downer. I knew at some point I would have two sick kids and be sick myself. But up until now, it hasn't happened. I am a bit concerned about THREE and what I will do then if they are all sick. I am clearly at the "worry stage" of pregnancy. I know i will calm down in a few weeks. But I remember being at this place last time and just had to let it pass.

Congrats Butterfly and Coocoo, Wyatt is too adorable!! Love his little cap too!

I'll spare the details on why but no hospital would support a vbac for me. It took me 4.5 years but thanks to my former ICAN chapter leader/very good friend, I found a homebirth midwife willing to work with me. I went into the aspect of homebirth fully informed and believed despite my prior c-section, I could vbac especially with my very experienced midwife. Sadly, my vbac hopes left when Azriel did. This pregnancy has had interventions that weren't done in my last pregnancy and I don't have the same faith I once did. This whole time, I've been waiting for my cervix to screw up and even though it's been stable, I don't trust it to do its job anymore. I'm making peace with having as close to a family centered c-section as possible but it's a work in progress. My emotions are all over the place.. There have been very positive steps in this direction at least and I'm still waiting on answers for some other aspects.

I will always have a place in my heart for homebirth and those who go for it.
