Jennifer Frankel commented on Lisa Neumayer's blog post 'Letter to Ricki and Abby - My HBAC Experience'
After seeing the Business of Being Born in 2009, I started investigating further into VBA2C at 32 weeks and transferred care at 36 for a homebirth. Succeeded in a VBA2C at home (at 41w6d); waterbirth with midwives present. I wish this…
Jennifer Frankel replied to Andrea Felsinger's discussion 'Visitor "abuse" after the birth' in the group Homebirthers
DAYUM! I would have told her what's what re: put some clothes on for the BIL to visit?? Get out of here.
This birth is your chance to reclaim your space. Be proactive, set boundaries. Setting boundaries and limits leads to a better…
Jennifer Frankel replied to Amie Smoke's discussion 'VBAC Induction ?'s' in the group Homebirthers
DO NOT USE CYTOTEC! The hospital based midwives I was originally seeing said the DO NOT induce any VBAC candidates. I switched to a homebirth midwife team at 32 weeks.
Talk to your midwife about Castor Oil, it will only be effective if your cervix…
Jennifer Frankel commented on Andrea G's group 'Cloth Diapering'
LiteWrap covers with Prefolds have fit all3 of our kiddos, all varying sizes of skinny to chunky legs, short rise, long in the rise. Very easy to use, very easy to clean, no issues with our VERY sensitive skin types, PUL, and budget friendly.
Jennifer Frankel replied to Maggie's discussion 'How to tell my OB/GYN?' in the group Homebirthers
I would tell him, the worst thing that could happen is he might not "be able" to be the backup OB b/c of silly hospital policies. It depends on where you live. I had a HBA2C last summer, found a homebirth midwife at 30 weeks b/c I just…

YAY ABBY!! Go VBAC! Congratulations to the whole family!
Jennifer Frankel replied to Ninja Mom's discussion 'Your Favorite Cover Style for Prefolds?' in the group Cloth Diapering
Just tried the Mommy's Touch one size cover (sold exclusivley at www.greenmountaindiapers.com ) and it is awesome!! It's an adjustable snap cover, PLU material, budget friendly and grows with your child.
Jennifer Frankel commented on Andrea G's group 'Cloth Diapering'
In our experience, a front loading HE type washer has been best. We had top loader/traditional washers when diapering our eldest two kids, a LOT of water used-frustration with odors and MULTIPLE wash cycles to get things clean. I can't even…

Jennifer Frankel replied to Natalie Villarante's discussion 'WaterBirth - Tub Rental/Clean Up, and Other Important Facts to Know' in the group Homebirthers
I rented a fabulous birthing tub from my midwife!! $250, we had it for a month, set up but NOT filled. It had heaters in the sides, and a disposable liner, and really deep (I am 5'10" and sat and knelt in a comfortable depth of water. I…

Jennifer Frankel replied to Jamie Bond's discussion 'H1N1 perfect reason for homebirth!' in the group Homebirthers
I've heard from friends from my hometown, who are due in January 2010, that their local hospital isn't going to allow sibling visits after delivery b/c of the flu season/H1N1. I recommended researching a homebirth midwife;)
I think the…
Jennifer Frankel commented on My Best Birth's group 'Homebirthers'
Yes, Jenna, voicing those fears we all hide can be a relief and an amazing opportunity to GROW. I felt the same way, and found that my midwife was NOT judging me the way I felt the OB's had during my first pregnancy/delivery. So all of the…
