Had my homebirth home visit yesterday!!  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
BP 116/80
pulse 80
babys heart beat 140's
total weight gained during pregnancy 15 pounds
no protein or sugar in urine
mild to moderate swelling in legs and ankles
fundul height is 36cm, which is down 3cm as I have been measuring 3 weeks ahead most of the pregnancy
baby is head down

Midwives had no problem at all getting here! It is about an hour drive and they aren't too familiar with my town. We had a nice visit, dd colored them a picture, dh asked a few questions, talked about GBS, Vit K & eye ointment.

Dd is soooo excited, but I am feeling anti-climatic, just waiting & not stressing or worrying too much. I feel ds move constantly so I know he is ok & that is all I am concerned with right now

Midwives told me to call if my water breaks or if I have 3-4 strong regular contractions because my labor with dd was 7.5 hours & they are about an hour away (more in traffic or bad weather).

Countdown to baby time!!!

I start weekly visits now!

Do you just get the one home visit? I guess I didn't realize how good I've had it. My midwife always comes to my home. Well, I did go to her house once. I love having her here though because this is where the birth will happen and I want her to be comfortable in my home too.
Sounds like everything is going great with you! I think the waiting from here on out is going to be the hardest part. It is SO close though!

My first home visit is Tuesday. I'm very excited! I think I get them until the end now but maybe not? I know I get at least one more (in two weeks) then I start weekly appts. I'm so excited to have a homebirth! It can't come soon enough!

The midwives come here 4x total, once at 36ish weeks and do a prenatal visit here so they know how to get to my house & wont get lost when I am in labor! The birth. The 24 hourish visit. The 4-5 day visit. Then I go to the Birth Center for the 3 & 6-8 weeks visits & all other prenatals.
