haha I think you'll be lucky if he fits in that onesie! I would have a vomit bowl close by. And also, you may want to look into some homeopathics for post-partum bleeding/haemorrage, Shepherd's Purse is commonly used to stop heavy bleeding and has saved many women from hospital transfers.

I'm so excited for you, and a bit jealous since I had a hospital birth which SUCKED lol. Homebirth really isn't supported here in Aus like it should be.

@MsEz81 I know!!! I have a feeling he may not fit into his newborn stuff :p How I forgot a vomit bowl I have nooo idea, but thank you for reminding me! I am gonna read up on the Shepherd's Purse today and go from there. I am declining Pitocin after delivery soo any natural remedy for the same idea is great! I've heard Australia doesn't really support it, its crazy!! And I thought the U.S.A was bad for not really supporting it.

arnica drops are great apparently, also maybe some aroma therapy candles or insence?

Also perineal massage can be done from 34weeks :) im about to start, helps reduce the likelyhood of tearing

@newlyweds08 Arnica drops? Never heard of them, but I will look them up and see what you are talking about! I soo wish I could have aroma therapy candles or insence, I use to use them while meditating, but my one kitty has severe asthma so I can't use that stuff anymore :( Yup, I have done some of it since 34 weeks, but I am too lazy and haven't done it since, plus its not my cup of tea.

That's awesome that you are doing a home birth! I wish I could consider it but due to being on blood thinners, I am probably going to have a scheduled induction or c-section :( I mean, I guess it's better than a possible hemorrhage huh? haha Awesome video for those considering it!! So helpful :)
