Looks like I'll be able to have a home birth after all! Fingers crossed that the midwives and their insurance accepts…

I'm so sorry to hear that! I can't imagine how difficult that was for you. What a blessing that you may have found better care. I hope everything works out for you.

I agree that's how I look at it. My first miscarriage I was 25 weeks, the second I was 12. For both I was told there was no heartbeat... The Dr I had during my first said I had an incompetent cervix but he is the only one who has vet said that so idk. To be honest innercity medical care is the worst. There's always so many patients to keep up with so you as a patient don't really get ultimate great care.

No, I think it just wasn't time for us yet. I like to think I have two extra angels looking out for their new little baby brother or sister. How about yours? We're they able to figure out what went wrong?

@iastillhungry, I'm so sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to you and your family. Did they say why they left?

I was 7 weeks for my first and 5 weeks on my second. I was journaling for my first, but haven't touched it since.

@imstillhungry, Awww that's so sad to hear! How far along were you? I started keeping a baby journal but haven't written in there for a while. I'm gonna get back on it though.

@allisha, I'm looking into getting another camera. I want to start shooting my own pics every week. And I also want to make videos.

@allisha, they won't be able to change my mind, but I know they'll try! Mom is a retired nurse, so I know I'll get an earful.

I want to start documenting too @trezelle, but been dragging my feet because I also suffered 2 miscarriages, both late last year. Still having a hard time getting super excited about baby. Hubby wants to do a memory box and I want to do a scrapbook or journal. not sure what we are going to go with.

@trezelle, you should! These are very exciting times in your life, with many more to come!

@allisha, the midwife care that I want to go with is probably the best in my area. They offer a lot of different things. The price that they gave me includes sonograms also. I'm not sure how long it takes though. I'm thinking of documenting it as I go along

@imstillhungry, my family mostly consist of my three siblings and they're all onboard and supportive. I haven't really told anyone I'm having a baby. My friends who I've told all are supportive of my home birth. I'm so excited for this amazing time in my life. I never thought I would ever have the opportunity to be a mom.

Yes I have told my parents and a few friends. They really hasn't said anything about it. I am sure they just don't want to have an unnecessary opinion knowing I will not change my mind lol :) @imstillhungry

I hope everything goes well for you ladies! Have you shared with any family or friends that you're planning homebirths? Have told a few friends and theyre all supportive, but dreading my parents' responses... @trezelle @allisha

Yes they will want that, and when a midwife has to request them it may take a while. My midwife still hasn't gotten mine yet and it been a couple months. @trezelle

@allisha, I dont know for sure the last day of my period! I had two ultrasounds already. I need to go get all my medical records from that other place so I can have it with me.

@imstillhungry, ^^

moms tillhungry, congratulations I hope all goes well for you!

@iamtillhungry, I'm so excited about this!! So glad that there are Mommas taking the same journey as me. There's so much strength on this app, I love it!! I'm praying you get your homebirth to!

The midwife will base it off of your first day of your last period, when you have an ultra sound they will measure the baby and give you there opinion of how far along you are. @trezelle

I'm hoping for a homebirth too! Waiting on insurance to tell me if they will cover my midwife. So far they have approved the homebirth! Leaving it in God's hands. What's meant to be will be. I hope you get the birth experience you're hoping for!

@allisha, I'm due in October to. I was told October 15th but that can change... Hoping that when I get into the midwife care I'll get a better idea. The place I was getting my care at sucks!

Oct 18 or 25 will have a better idea in June @trezelle

@allisha, thanks love. Sending you lots of blessings and good vibes. When is your baby due?

Congratulations! I am having a home birth too! Hope all goes well!
