Birthing at Home, pt 5 – My Story.
28 Apr 2012Throughout my pregnancy, I had 3 different EDD: 12/4, 16/4 and lastly at 34wks it was 6/4. Whenever I’m asked about my due date, I would nonchalantly answer mid April because I knew all these dates were only an estimation. Secretly I looked forward to an Easter baby (8/4) or perhaps the perfect birthday present [...]

In: 3rd Trimester|Little Benjac Too|Mother To Be|Thanksgiving
6 Apr 2012For months I’ve been listening to Marie Mongan’s Birth Affirmation. Till today, I still can’t remember precisely the words pass the 1st sentence: I put all fears aside as I prepare for the birth of my baby.

26 Mar 2012Earlier this afternoon while I was browsing through my older posts, I stumbled upon my pre birthday feast last year. The husband cooked me my favourite seafood: Crabs!

Birthing at Home, pt 1 – The Reasons.
23 Mar 2012Since I opened up our plans for a home birth on Tuesday, there have been plenty of “concerns” raised. Why? Are you serious? or Is it safe? were the pretty common reaction. I guess a lot of us — including myself previously — are conditioned to believe that hospital is where birth should be because [...]

But it seems that our secret wasn’t much of a secret because he expected it *cis* Anyhow I am thankful that he [...]
Pregnancy Goodness: Perineal Massage.
8 Mar 2012What is it? The gentle stretching and massaging of the perineum — skin between the anus and vagina — during the last few weeks of pregnancy. It is usually done during the 34th weeks onward, twice daily for 5 minutes each. “Ouch!” was my exact response when I first read about perineal massage during my [...]
