My wife is 10 weeks pregnant. We've decided on a home birth because we think that will give us the highest chance of having a natural birth. We also feel a home birth will be much more spiritual and God focused, which we want to make sure Jesus is as the center of it all.
We have found a team with a certified nurse midwife and others that will assist us throughout the pregnancy. We have a nearby hospital familiar with our situation in case a transfer is needed for any reason.
Has anyone else had a home birth? If so, I am curious what your experience was like.
What was your postpartum plans?
Find a lactation consultant, a good chiropractor that is familiar with infant chiro care in your area, as well as a orthodontist familiar with tongue ties and revisions. Those three things were game changers for happier baby and breastfeeding.
Eat a tablespoon of poppy seeds a few times during the day.
Also make you lady get up on all fours and do the huffing yoga through the pains.
Nevertheless, those POPPY seeds, yep, 1 tbsp at a time, are a natural painkiller, unlike the pills that are prescribed.
One poppy pod will make about a teaspoon of seeds, so I do not think it is a wild idea.
Yep, I am aware of lectins, and seed oils. I a butter fan personally, no oils in the house.
HOWEVER, when a lady is screaming and moaning in pain from post-partum, which can be worse than labour, because they have nothing to push against, then POPPY SEEDS are the go to.
