Hi Brooke!!

Not sure if I'm considered a "young parent" anymore (definitely don't feel like one!!)


I second what Katrina said:

Jess, most homebirthers feel the same as you - stressed at the thought of birthing in a hospital. Whereas at home, you're in familiar environment and relaxed in your own surroundings.

I am a homebirther at heart.

I wish.

I really do.

If I ever have another baby I am definitely having it at home and I don't care what DP says. This one is going to be born at the hospital though and the very thought of it terrifies me. Not the labour, the hospital.

Anyhow, I don't have a point, I just wanted to say, LUCKY YOU!!

I just reread my post this morning and I sound like a hippy so I thought I better introduce myself better so that I don't scare anyone away.

Hi everyone. My name is Brooke. I am 20 y.o (21 next month). I live in Forest Lake, Brisbane, QLD. I am the mother of Samarra who was born at home 17 months ago and I am planning on getting pregnant in a couple of months (fingers crossed) and have planned another home birth. I am a strong homebirth advocate but I understand how some women feel safer in hosptial and we should all birth where we feel the safest. I live with my partner, Eddie who is 25 y.o.

I have chosen not to vaccinate my daughter or future children but I completely respect those mothers who do vaccinate as it is a mother right to choose.

I use fitted cloth nappies (eenies) on my girl although I admit that it will often drive me up the wall and I will resort to disposables for a few days until I regain my sanity. Cloth nappies are an excellent way to save money.

I am still breastfeeding my 17 month old and I plan on weaning her when she is about 2, in time for the new bub. I am extremely lucky to be breastfeeding because I had flat nipples and experienced 4 months of cracked nipples and intense pain to be able to achieve it. The things we do for pur kids.

I am in my last semester at uni studying for a Bachelor of Behavioural Science and can't wait to finish.

Thank you so much for all your replies. You have made me feel very welcome.

Thanks

Brooke
