Hello,
I am so impressed with the list of subjects that you have posted. I am with you in the desire to provide information for women regarding health and childbirth!
lurking and reading ravenously. i love finding another christian alternate mama to get some support on this parenting/woman/mothering thing that is so consuming and so amazing.
especially the homebirthing articles- i loved the crazy hippie lady that i became in everyone’s eyes when i chose a homebirth. somehow, my brain cells all fried and years of physics studies couldn’t reverse this chronic insanity.
still crazy!!! and loving your page!
I am 13 mo PP with my second little one. both were home birthed. i was Group B+ with both and received IV antibiotic for both. silly me. didnt fight the midwife on that. I did however refuse all shots and eye ointments, and blood draws. anyhow this about me. with my second delivery it was very fast. well fast for me. 4 hours start of contractions to delivery of placenta. It was a beautiful water birth. even though the midwives told me i had a beautiful and healthy intact placenta i ended up in the hospital 10 days pp for a D&C due to extreme bleeding. i had a micro piece of accessory lobe still attached. fast forward 13 months still nursing all day an night. my 3 yr as well at times. my hair is all falling out. the endocrinologist says all is well. i eat a very healthy diet. i take my flco religiously. i started taking standard process pituotrophin to see if that would help things along. now i am wondering if i should defrost my daughters placenta i neglected to plant this year and encapsulate it. it has been stored properly all along. any experience with placental encapsulation?
Hi Kate! I think it’s awesome that you support home births. Many women I know have chosen to have home births and were very pleased with it. I actually stumbled upon your site while looking into midwifery schools in Ohio! (I’m praying about becoming a midwife) It’s so neat to see a God-loving women choose a natural and simple way of life. I am hoping to one day get married, home school my children and be a proverbs 31 wife! You inspire me:)
