I forgot to announce in here but our surprise baby arrived on the 3rd of August. We welcomed our beautiful girl, Madelyn Grace, at home at 9:49am after 3 hours of active labour. Her big sister watched her be born and her big brothers came in just after she was born so we could all look together and find out if baby was a girl or a boy ? It was such a wonderful experience and I loved every minute.

Haha ? It's made me want another too Zazu, but my husband would also have a heart attack! He wanted 2 kids and we have 4 now ?
Thank you lovelies ?
Good luck with your homebirth august15baby. I hope it goes wonderfully for you ❤️ I can't wait to read your birth story ?it's so nice to know there are others on here having a homebirth. It's so sad that it isn't more common in Australia.
Thank you ladies ?
Zazu, it was absolutely amazing having a homebirth! It was such a calm, relaxed atmosphere and I really enjoyed not having to worry about getting to the hospital and just being able to slip into the birth pool when I was ready. It was so nice to be in my own space and just let everything happen. My midwives were really hands off (except necessary monitoring of bubs heartbeat and my own pulse) and they just let me do my thing. I loved my kids being able to be a part of it all (I really wanted them to know that birth is normal and not something to be afraid of). And it was heaven to have a shower afterwards and snuggle down with bub in my own bed!
I honestly have had the most amazing care throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum (you wouldn't get the same at the hospital at all). I highly recommend it to anyone who is low risk. It just felt so right!
My only regret is that I didn't have a homebirth with my 2nd and 3rd babies like I wanted to. I wish I hadn't waited until my 4th! I'd do it again in a heartbeat ?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Had to look for your birth story haha! So beautiful ??
