I read in a glossy mag at the supermarket counter
today that Gwenyth Paltrow was planning a homebirth in her mum's home - does
anyone know if this is true?

When my last was born 2 years ago, so I had 4 under 5 years, it was amazing
what a vasectomy did for our sex lives. I highly recommend it for those who
have 'finished' having babies.

Hi Cas,
That's great news, I hope it continues for you.
I found with my 4 children (7,5 4 and 2) that sleep definately promoted
sleep (as little bubs) - the more they slept the more they wanted to. If
they had really decent big sleeps in the day, then they would sleep really
well at night. I really

Hi all,
I had a call today from a woman in Tenterfield who
would like to birth at home.
She has 4 children, the last 2 children were twins,
all natural active births with no problems at all. Apparently there is no birth
facilities at all in Tenterfield as the local hospital has closed the mat
rth, hypnobirth,
homebirth, as long as the woman comes away from her experience feeling powerful
and positive and that any decisions made were her decisions.
Cheers

My second baby was one of those baby's that let everyone know when she was

I'm sure there are lay/traditional midwives out there assisting women.
We're always really careful to promote attended homebirth and only refer
women to midwives who are registered, however I'm sure it wouldn't be hard
to find some traditional midwives, if that's what a woman is seeking.

ey don't.
Looking at the statistics of homebirths with a midwife attending and
homebirths without a midwife attending (which I believe is more than
double), it appears that many of them are 'doing it unassisted' quite
successfully.
