I found the same thing in Canada, some of the docs/residents at the hospital were a lot rougher. Here they don't do internals....I didn't have one during the whole pregnancy!!!

I wish everyone would post a birth story - what a magical time in your lives!<br /><br />the membrane sweep has always been my friend. both times my OB did it, I was in labour within 48 hours. <br /><br />I agree - it's not as painful as I've heard, however, I will say that each caregiver has their own methods. My OB was able to do membrane sweeps without me so much as wincing, yet even a basic vaginal exam at the hospital by a hurried nurse has me shouting out in pain. <br /><br />Glad you were able to get Seb off to a babysitter - can't imagine a home birth with a toddler running around!Emily Morricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331780147271948152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861417488140863356.post-92052235271059251192012-10-04T08:25:10.928-06:002012-10-04T08:25:10.928-06:00Wow... this is such a good story.

(Let me know if u find it...I can get the specific name tomorrow, just on my phone now). We previewed a few & chose this one mainly cause many of them were done by people in the UK or Australia (where hypbobirthing is more common) & I didn't like the accent. In the end, I really enjoyed the variety of exercises on the recording, a bit about breathing, some relaxation & visualization and a part that was positive thoughts about birthing & the baby.Tarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566863438789112227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861417488140863356.post-55137719299128130562012-10-03T19:09:56.249-06:002012-10-03T19:09:56.249-06:00Tara, your strength never ceases to amaze me.

So funny that with having toddlers one of my main hopes is that it was be super fast so it won't disrupt their lives too much!<br /><br />Can't wait to hear the rest of your story. I was also wondering if you could share the name of the hypnobirthing recording you got from iTunes. I am looking for one and see that there are several so I'd rather try one out that someone I know has used before. And a figure someone who delivered their own baby would be a good tester!<br /><br />Hope you are feeling well, mama.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159868523492227972noreply@blogger.com
