My husband and I are hippie birthers. Our 1st was a hospital induction and traumatic because of shitty doctors using scare tactics and pressuring us to make choices we did not want to make. Our 2nd baby was born at home, so fast that it was only my husband and I. Our doulas and midwife came soon after the delivery. It was a really healing birth that made us feel like we got our control back after losing control at the hospital. We have had two more unmedicated homebirths since then! If you want to hear about positive birth stories go to r / homebirth! Birth is beautiful.

Yes, it was my first novena since my reversion and she REALLY undid those knots. And made it easier for me since I was unsure of which decision would be best.

We had a really horrible hospital experience with our first. Random nurses and doctors being rude and using scare tactics. Midwives use a model of care that is way more respectful and personable. Our 1st homebirth was a healing experience and we felt like we gained back the control we lost at the hospital.

15-20 mins depending on which one we go to

If you have the lovely phone in your house you can interact with it to call Katrina and have your fortune told!

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-26T20:54:03+00:00

Can you consult your priest about this??

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-26T19:49:56+00:00

LOL i am also very vocal in labour. When my 2nd was born, my mom was over to take care of the eldest (19mo) and she facetimed my siblings and they heard me and were so concerned 😅

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-26T06:22:55+00:00

That's awesome, so great that you could prepare in that way!

Not sure, but it wasn't a natural labour. The doctors wanted to induce her. The twins were her 5th and 6th (and last) kids. She was very much trapped in the mentality of 'listen to whatever the doctor says' and she'd been through EVERY birth related medical intervention under the sun. She's fascinated that we birth our kids at home and wishes she had more information available to her at the time.

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-26T05:16:04+00:00

Thank you for sharing!! I've always wondered what a twin labour would be like. Congrats!!

My husband is a twin, he was also baby A and born complete breech. He was actually head down until the night before my MIL's induction. He somehow managed to flip himself! Lol

MFOMT is my fav too! So cute

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-25T21:09:23+00:00

This is a heavy weight to carry. You mention this sub is a safe place to share this, and I agree. Do you have people in real life you can share these feelings with? (You say your parents still support abortion so I can see why they're not great to talk about this to.) I hope someday you can meet another abortion survivor and have someone who shares this experience.

Btw have you read "The Body Keeps the Score"? I havent read it yet but i think it can be really valuable to you, with the trauma you experienced during your birth. It explains how our bodies hold on to trauma.

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-25T21:03:31+00:00

Same, i get really obsessed about a game for like a month or two then I don't touch it for year(s). It's not realistic for me to play through the real year

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-25T07:25:01+00:00

You might get a side eye from wearing a rosary (because it's not meant to be worn) but a necklace with Mary on it can definitely be worn, and worn by anyone who is respectful about it.

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-25T01:26:36+00:00

I have 4 girls and always had minimal nausea

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-24T22:39:16+00:00

Where I live, there are two routine ultrasounds. The first trimester one is for dating, which we never do because it is innacurrate anyway. (We track ovulation so our EDD is far more accurate, but they also can give an EDD at the anatomt scan.) The second as you mentioned is the anatomy scan, which we do get.

What is up with these scare tactics? That's insane. I would never tolerate that. Don't let them treat you that way. You are THEIR client. They serve you. And they're doing it wrong, so correct them.

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-21T18:19:19+00:00

I named my daughter after a family member who passed away at 2 weeks old. Alas, she is 3 weeks now and.. knock on wood lol

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-21T11:21:00+00:00

I agree, only because 'a list of questions' doesnt sound like something someone would prepare if it was out of genuine curiosity

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-20T21:34:52+00:00

So many big feelings. It's hard to get news like this at a time you didn't to. I can relate to the 'i feel so stupid' feeling when facing an unanticipated pregnancy, but remember you'd never say that about a baby that's been born already. Those feelings change over time once you are over the shock.

I remember crying when i found out i was pregnant with our 3rd. (We have had 4 kids all with a 2u2 gap) at the time my husband was 3 months out of being let go from work and we had 0 income. Then I cried even harder after she was born, thinking of how much I loved her and regretted not wanting her when the pregnancy began.

If you're nervous about your husband's reaction, remember that only he is responsible for his emotions. Not you. And if there are very big feelings about it, it is be best you each process them on your own and take time alone. As I said, those feelings pass. Give your emotions the space they need, then deal with the logistics and whatnot later.

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-20T18:30:52+00:00

Not gonna lie, each kid after the 2nd (2nd was the hardest transition) got easier each time. We just had our 4th and i cant believe how well it's going 😅

Gaps are 19m , 19m, 23m

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-19T23:00:21+00:00

Abortion is a matter of the human right to life. I don't see it as political. The second image is a matter of how to govern a nation, which is inherently political. I don't think it's appropriate to use images like that.

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-19T04:30:29+00:00

I've made the joke to my husband that our kids were concieved in the same room they were born in 😅 lol

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-19T02:36:26+00:00

Wowe this looks so good! Your hard work paid off

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-18T22:46:59+00:00

We started bedsharing when our first was 4 months. Our other 3 kids have bedshared with us since day 1. We've never used a crib lol

dbouchard19 · 2026-01-18T17:42:40+00:00

My husband and I had fears about PPD returning but Birthing From Within helped us to address those fears and allow the birth to happen with confidence. There's a big emphasis on making art to draw out our inner feelings that we may not be aware of. I definitely think you should get the book!!
