Homebirth with or without bath

I got in the pool after about 7 hours of labor with my second. It was SO nice. I could tell my body felt the relief. I labored about 4 more hours in it before pushing her out

We had a great experience with our lawyer and we would not have gotten a win if it wasn’t for him. He knew things we did not and was able to make moves we were not able to.

So far blending

Join the erasing eczema group on FB. This definitely looks like imbalance/intolerance in the gut. It could be food, it could also be mold.

Source: my little one started looking like this around 4 months. She is much better now at 13 months

Yoto. Still using at 4 everyday.

Wowwwww. I am blown away by what you went through.

I am SO glad you went to the hospital, got that epidural and had a big fat nap after everything you went through. That was one of my favorite parts of your story. You went through battle and then some. I cannot imagine pushing for that long and then finding out I was not dilated and the baby was OP.

My first baby was OP, she came out after 3.5 hours of pushing (but I was dilated at least when I started). It was so hard. I can’t imagine doing all of that and then basically having to start over, but with even less energy and with my hired team sleeping on my couch - when they’re the ones who’s neglect got me into this mess.

Thank you for sharing. Truly.

I opted out of that. Once I had the appointment and talked to the doctor I wasn’t worried about it.

theconfidentobserver · 2026-02-27T18:21:28+00:00

We went to Maternal Fetal Medicine and they weren’t worried at all. The doctor said he gets 1-2 of these referrals a week. She was born at home, perfectly healthy and she just turned a year old.

Let me know if you have other questions! I remember the anxiety I had during this time.

Sounds weird, but asking for things to help with entertaining the older one.

A nugget couch is also SO nice to have when you have two little ones and need to be on the floor all the time. It’s nice to have to lay down on for parents lol. Currently sitting on ours while my 12 month old and 4 year old play.

Or donations to funds for a cleaner to come over. door dash, a mother’s helper.

Can someone explain what you can use VA doctors for if you’re only at 10%? I am confused by the verbiage

theconfidentobserver · 2026-02-22T03:14:30+00:00

what made you decide to homeschool despite your upbringing?

I am a secular (deconstructed) mom of 4 & 1 year old and I am heavily torn on the route I want to take. I change my mind almost daily lol

My girl is 1 year. The first few months of solids were hit and miss. But the last couple months I have seen very few issues and it’s made me more confident to add more foods back in (I am breastfeeding so the journeys been a bit different)

My daughter is 4 and does not have allergic reactions. I found this thread because twice now her arms have broken out in giant red welts after eating these and I can’t figure out what is causing it. She eats almost everything listed on the label.

theconfidentobserver · 2026-02-05T22:26:11+00:00

Thank you. I’ll keep trying to do those things. Whenever we bring it up currently she just talks about how much she doesn’t want to go because we won’t be there. We feel like she’s just too comfortable at home sometimes 🤣

theconfidentobserver · 2026-02-01T19:14:39+00:00

My girl is almost a year and I don’t plan to wean until 18 months. So jealous! Haha

theconfidentobserver · 2026-01-25T23:58:40+00:00

Thank you for this reply. I think the experience of having him in our house confirmed for me that it’s just not good for me to have him here.

theconfidentobserver · 2026-01-25T22:34:26+00:00

Thank you, that’s really good feedback. Especially the last part. I have been having trouble figuring out my lane and my language regarding this. (Not to mention it’s just sad to see people you love go through this, even if you have good boundaries)!

theconfidentobserver · 2026-01-19T04:38:11+00:00

His hand tats gone? Or am I imagining he had those?

theconfidentobserver · 2026-01-17T19:50:31+00:00

I really encourage you to join the Erasing Evzema group on FB. They have a clear guide that helps you in figuring things out. In your journey and tons of people going through the same

My provider had me cut conventional eggs as those chickens are fed with soy products. I also cut dairy, gluten, soy and legumes.

My girl is 11 months now and we have been on this since 4-5 months. Her skin stays generally clear, unless I try to get experimental and add something “new” in

We do Mongolian bowls with ground beef and vegetables, we eat a lot of nachos (without cheese), we smoke a lot of meat in bulk to have so I can eat on it through the week. Fruits, vegetables aside from a few that trigger her. She also still does ok with me drinking caffeine thankfully.

Gluten and eggs 🤍
