UC....4ME

[Roslyn Joyce]

I AM 29WKS AND WANTING TO HAVE A UC HOME BIRTH

I WILL BE A V-BAC..

MY 1ST CHILD WAS BORN IN THE CAR, ON THE WAY TO BE INDUCED..SHE WAS PERFECTLY FINE N HEALTHY! :)

MY SECOND CHILD WAS AN EMERGENCY C-SECTION....HE WAS PERFECTLY FINE N HEALTHY...

BUT NOW I WANT TO EXPERIENCE A NATURAL HOME BIRTH WITH JUST FAMILY AND FRIENDS THERE..NO INTERVENTIONS OR UNWANTED HANDS!!..

I WANT TO BE CALM N COLLECT IN MY OWN HOME. I WANT TO HIRE A MIDWIFE BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO DO SO... I AM ONLY WORRIED THAT IF I DO A UC, I WILL NEED TO TAKE THE BABE IN FOR A CHECKUP FOR PURPOSES OF BC AND GENERAL CHECKUPS...AND BE SCOLDED FOR DOING AN UC...

ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT OR HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS SUCCESSFULLY SO..?!

THX EVERYONE:)

Have you had any prenatal care so far?

[Roslyn Joyce]

yes..I have had prenatal care throughout this pregnancy... since

I was about 12-13 weeks pregnant.I just went and did my glucose testing

Thursday...

A lot of people just take the baby to a pediatrician after birth (ranges from same day to months after birth).  My pediatrician was not in the least worried about the fact that I UC'd my twins.  Just asked me what gestation they were born at, weights, etc. and checked them over. :)

Not even my OB said much at my post partum visit...just that it was "risky."  Lol.  I am seeing the same OB for this pregnancy as well.  One of the nurses excitedly asked me if I'll be delivering at home again, but other than that no one has said anything to me about how I'm going to birth this one.

If anyone scolds you for your birth choices, just kindly tell them to eff off.

 TY SO MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE..NOW I HAVE A NEW DILEMA

OF WEITHER OR NOT TO HIRE THIS DOULA WITH OUT A MIDWIFE(SEEING AS HOW I CANT AFFORD ONE

ANYMORE)BY US MOVING AND HAVING A BABY AT THE SAME TIME..I JUST BASICALLY WANT SOMEONE

THERE FOR SUPPORT  IN THE EVENT AN EMERGENCY ARISES...

I MEAN I ALREADY HAVE UC'D WITH MY 1ST CHILD,SO I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT...

BUT THEN AGAIN I DONT!!!

ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED...

Would it be possible to have a friend or family member be there for the birth instead?
