  The M. asked:

  From the wall: "Has anyone on here had or know someone who has had a c section w/ a low lying anterior placenta? Looking for positive stories (no horror stories). I'm anxiety ridden enough lol. I'm 13.6 weeks and just diagnosed w/ a low lying anterior placenta (2.6 cm away from cervix). The US tech said most doctors would have cleared me but mine wants to see 3 cm. He said it will almost definitely rise but just planning for everything. Anyway, any help? Thank you!"

  Elizabeth G. asked:

  Do doctors still recommend that moms keep new babies in the house until they've had their first round of vaccs? I thought that was outdated advice... anyone?

  

  Holly K. replied:

  I think we stayed in much more with baby #1, but I wish I was able to just hang out with baby #2 and soak in all the babyness while I healed. As much as I tried, it was harder to slow down with baby #2 though I think. There are other benefits to "lying in" after baby is born. http://birthwithoutfearblog.com/.../

  I'm hoping to use a midwife with this pregnancy. Any advice on how to find a good one? Or any recommendations? We live in Yuba City. :)

  NaturallyBorn asked:

  "Anyone have any luck with a breech baby (frank presentation) turning after 36 weeks? Seeing chiropractor already as well as suggestions from spinningbabies.com. Any other suggestions? The doctor has already booked her c-section in 3 weeks but she really would like a natural birth!"-Anonymous #breech

  

  Mollie D. replied:

  babies can turn even during labor. maybe get a different provider? there's a story on either www.mamabirth.blogspot.com or www.birthwithoutfearblog.com that the mom talks about this happening to her. first baby was breech and the midwife was prepared...See More

  Clara M. asked:

  If you know anyone local who knows a thing or two, tricks and so forth with photography and they are open to bartering, they teach me their tricks and I will be their doula or trade produce for lessons, PLEASE PLEASE have them get in touch with me. Please let them know I am really wanting to focus on birth photography, since I am there already.

  DawnJrod O. asked:

  BREECH BABY! Any suggestions? My doc wants to do an aversion (manually turn baby) and possibly c-section. I'm 38 weeks and feeling great! I have been doing chiropractic, accupunture and burning the moxy plus body positions.

  

  DrElizabeth S. replied:

  have you looked at the spinningbabies website? Are you doing the Webster technique with the chiropractic? You are at 38 weeks so still have a lot of time...also look at www.birthwithoutfearblog.com....she has several articles on breech and EDD. Good luck! I really hope you can have a vaginal birth.....if not, remember that THE MOST IMPORTANT THING for the baby is to get skin on skin contact immediately....either on you or dad.....have them do the suction, but delay all other procedures (exam, K shot etc) and get that baby on one of you- it is important to help teach and regulate the baby's nervous system...and important for establishing breastfeeding. I would also recommend that you do not do an induction...even if you are going to do a c section- go into labor naturally...there are so many benefits for the baby when it is done this way versus induction. I have more resources about all this stuff if you'd like...
