and no mw I know would ever dream of cutting cord early. it is not "dealyed" cord clamping it is OPTIMAL cord clamping. these "mw's" sound like ob's glad you have your doula friend and inner strength to deal with them.

Because hun i had problems with my 7lb 15 baby - my other 2 were 6lb2 and 7lb10. Though im not worried as my 7lb10 son was meant to be 9lb6 according to them and he was 10 days late and still only 7lb10 so i take absilutely no notice of what they tell me.

Sorry I didn't see anything in your birth stories about it- yeah doesn't look like you make big babes and I would be very worried taking babe at 37 weeks (based on guestimated weights) when your full term and past babes have been so small. I do make big babes(8.5,10,10.8,9.14) but have never had us(people to guess weight) and am already "proven" to birth them but I always here of people being induced early for "big baby" syndrome Didn't you measure bigger with other children as well? Sounds like your educated and know your rights it just pisses me off when docs try ot scare tactic mothers

mum23boys- how are things going with your planned hb? are they still bugging on size or was that ladi to rest?
33 weeks now and guess I need to get on ordering my birth supply kit but haven't got anything together. besides that i need to get another carseat.

aroundtheworld- when you are feeling better would love to hear about your homebirth of twins

[Mum23boys]

Hi hun Im all set :-) Just hope things stay thi way - Baby was 4.5 pound at scan at 32 weeks so lookig about 8.5 at birth - My babies are 7.14, 6.2, and 7.10 so its pretty big for me if its correct but they told me my 7.10 would be 9.6 so im hoping its actually going to be about 8lb not 8.5. I was secretly hoping for another 6 pounder as love tiny babies but not looking likely !! ha ha

I have my birth kit in the loft from the last birth so I need to just get it all down and blow the pool up check for leaks etc - Hoping to do that next weekend maybe

[Atsaukina1]

wow your ready. i still havent ordered ym birth kit and I loaned my birth pool to a friend due end of june/july . well at least she's doing the check for me lol. it has been rented/loaned a couple times since I used it last. got my moneys worth out of it I've never had sonos to measure what my babes were sure would have been fun to see if their guesses were right lol maybe they would've thought my 10lbers were 12+ lol

37 weeks the time when all homebirth moms can breathe easy knowing that babe can be born at home ahhhhhh

[Mum23boys]

Ill be joining you at 37 weeks on saturday and cant wait - Had midwife app today and said on my notes presentation of pp 2/5 ? whether that means that 2 x 5th of head are in and 3 out or whether its that only 2 5th of head can still be felt i dont know but either way baby is engaged so thats good news

[Atsaukina1]

lol no idea never heard that talk. is that from a cervical check? I dont get those- last I heard babe had 2 heads lol as we were trying to figure out how babe is laying and it kept moving all over lol
