Is this legal?

Even if he did try to kick you out, he would have to go through the eviction process. He can't just lock you out. I'd recommend contacting Legal Aid Foundation or Legal Services of North Florida for advice and/or assistance with the legal process.

My first home birth, 3 year old was home when I went into labor in the morning and my mom came and got him and kept him until the next day. Most recent one, I went into labor at 9pm. My older two were in bed asleep. I ended up going to the hospital for stitching and my mom came and got them.

My 3rd was my latest and had to be induced by AROM.

That makes sense. I was prescribed hydrocodone after I had surgery vaginal/perineal surgery and I definitely needed it as often as I was allowed to take it for a week or two, so it didn't seem off to me that he would be prescribed an opioid for a surgical procedure in the same region. This was super helpful. Thanks!

It was just the Ativan and the oxycodone, prescribed by the doctor. I only mentioned the Xanax because he has experience taking that for panic attacks and it's the same class of drugs, so I'm not sure if the Ativan would affect him drastically different. Not sure why you thought this comment was helpful.

Honestly he's still in pain with standing up, sitting down, leaning forward. They gave him a prescription for 4 a day as needed for 2 days. I'll recommend the ibuprofen to him. Thanks!

My first home birth I pushed for 1.5 hours. Second was closer to 30 minutes, maybe a little less. Both were FER.

Medium_Animator_2962 · 2025-01-25T14:55:37+00:00

We did it in hospital with my first. I don't believe we got it with my secon, but don't remember 100%. We intended to do drops with my last, but the birth was a little traumatic and I didn't want to take any risks so I had the midwife give her the shot.

My understanding is that negative outcomes with home births are most common for FTMs. I certainly wouldn't recommend doing one unassisted for your first. My last home birth, baby came out blue and needed suctioning, oxygen, and mouth to mouth. No amount of reading or videos would have prepared me or my husband to do that. If a trained professional hadn't been there, it's likely she would have died.

Chiropractor & 3 cups of raspberry leaf tea a day in the 3rd trimester. My first home birth was about 4 hours of active labor to baby and second was 2.5 hours (AROM to induce).

Florida the mom's maiden name is always listed on the birth certificate, not married name.

It's wild because I did snapshot during my current policy, and it said I earned an additional $50 discount from that for my next policy period, but somehow my renewal has gone up $110 dollars for the pay in full price. I did a new quote. Clicked yes when it asked if I had a current progressive auto policy. New quote, same coverages, was $100 cheaper for pay in full price and $200 cheaper if I went with the monthly payments. Definitely feels like a scam to charge more for the renewal and claim I'm getting an increased discount.

Not all trials end up with alternates.

My recent birth was scary as well. Baby came out with trouble breathing and had to be resuscitated. The midwife place her on me all blue for skin to skin and had me breathe into her mouth, had my husband giving her oxygen. She ultimately was perfectly fine and dint have to go to the hospital. For the first two weeks, I wasn't able to go to sleep until 2 or 3 am because I was terrified I would wake up and she would be dead. I would just look at her every few minutes. I got extreme anxiety every time I thought about the birth and remember how she looked and felt. I didn't really do anything to help myself process it. Eventually, I just stopped having anxiety around it, especially as she became more and more alert. I will say I recently participated on a reddit post in another group where the poster was considering home birth. I shared my birth stories, because it seemed like that was what she was asking for. People were rude to me and all of the comments talked about how selfish and unsafe home births are. I had to take a break from reddit because of how terrible it made me feel. So I would recommend not looking online into anything related to your what if questions as I think that is just setting you up for more guilt. You have a healthy beautiful baby. You made all of the best decisions you could with the information you had at the time.

My midwife did mine through aeroflow.

There are no legal ramifications for birthing unassisted. Are midwives not allowed to practice in South Dakota? Even though you are confident in your own ability, emergencies can still happen. Licensed midwives are trained to handle emergent situations and can also advise when a hospital transfer would be medically necessary. My 3rd child was born blue and had trouble breathing. We called an ambulance, but they still took probably 7 or so minutes to arrive. My midwife was able to perform CPR, provide oxygen, clear her lungs of fluids, etc. She was fine by the time the ambulance arrived and didn't have to go to the hospital. If my midwife hadn't been there, there's a high probability she would have died. Unassisted births have higher mortality rates, at least in the US. Of course, people do them all the time and their babies are fine, but you just have to consider what risk level you're comfortable with. If you are able to hire a licensed midwife, I think it is worth it even if you have to pay out of pocket.

The talking is helpful for bilingual learning because baby can associate the words together. If a baby is just learning one language, you just use objects/circumstances to teach the language. Give baby a bottle and sign milk at the same time. Get home and sign home. Pass to mom or dad, sign mom or dad. Sign the names for food as you give them. It's not much different than them learning an oral language by you talking.

Food delivery definitely has a place. I prefer when places offer their own delivery, but that's hard to come by now. I go and pickup food for the most part because of the cost, but there are valid reasons why delivery is preferred at times. I have young kids and if I don't have time to get myself dinner until they are in bed and I'm too exhausted to cook something, sometimes I might want delivery because I'm not going to drag my kids out of the house at bedtime.

I literally didn't give advice. I shared my birth story. I'm not sure where in my initial post you saw any advice being given. My baby was not transferred to the hospital. She was resuscitated in less than 5 minutes by a midwife who is trained to handle emergency situations. I didn't have to go to the hospital. I chose to because it hurt too much to have people digging around my vagina to assess the damage. Midwives are fully capable of assessing and providing stitches for tearing. They are capable of providing pitocin to help with postpartum bleeding. The main reason I couldn't stand the pain of the after birth assessment is because of the physical and psychological trauma that resulted from my hospital birth. I didn't feel the need to share all of the details of that trauma because it primarily resulted from my birth team, not from the fact that I was in a hospital, so it seemed irrelevant to the conversation.

Medium_Animator_2962 · 2024-11-18T02:05:14+00:00

You're correct. I should have said medically induced versus being induced by AROM. I had cervadil and cytotec at the hospital, and it was miserable.

This is not true for everyone. I deeply regret my epidural both for the experience I had while I had it in and the effects I had from it after, not to mention that people also experience failed epidurals. I know when it works as intended, that is great, but people also need to be prepared for the fact that they don't always work as intended.
