Why are you high risk? Because you didn't pay the doctors enough to check your pregnancy?
My third kid, they didn't even see me until I was six months. Never any ultrasound until then, and it was to determine sex. If I have any more I will not have any ultrasound and I won't be going to the hospital. It's a racket that puts everything at risk.
Find a great midwife instead.
thats exactly why they are trying to scare me with the words "high risk"
im not sure if any midwife would be willing to help out this late in the game since they werent with me for the whole pregnancy, thats what my stepmom says. plus i dont have money to pay them with, and free health insurance only supplies you with the best healthcare communism can buy, which isnt a midwife.
now im tempted to give birth at home again.
did your kids get any of the recomended vaccines? im told i have two weeks after birth to give my kid vaccines or there will be legal reprecussions
I still don't understand how you're high risk. Are you older? Super over weight? Have health conditions? Handicapped?
Legal repercussions? Like what? If I were you I would find out what your rights are and who is supposedly going to press the charges. There are vaccine rights groups in each state.
My first two I had back to back and I vaccinated them up until four or five, I can't recall. My third has had none. I wish someone could've told me just a basic caution so I would've learned quicker. It was very scary not vaccinating my third. I worried he would get sick, I stressed over people accusing me of murdering other children with my choice. It takes a lot of studying to be able to be completely certain about that choice when it's beat into your head your entire life that vaccines are necessary and doctors do no harm.
I can't advise you to home deliver alone, I would never want to be the person who caused you harm. I don't know anything about birthing babies, all three of mine were c section. If I have another it will be home delivered. There's entire groups of women who gave vaginal birth after multiple caesarians (VBAC2,3&4). It's not the same but somehow gives me confidence, I have helped deliver many baby goats.
im high risk because, like you said, they didnt get to suck the money out of me because i didnt have regular checkups. having only two checkups for an entire pregnancy makes you high risk i guess, no matter how healthy you are. the guy who did the ultra sound said i was healthy and the baby was in good shape and in a good position at 37 weeks but said i was high risk because no one had the chance to monitor me with regular checkups. so really, they dont know for sure if im high risk or not because ive only had 2 checkups.
ill be going to the hospital for the birth, but im worried theyll want to do a C section just because i didnt have regular checkups and im considered "high risk". i dont believe im high risk, i dont know how i could be. the pregnancy has gone very well and even the guy who said im high risk says the baby and i are in perfect health.
if i give the kid vaccines, ill give him the minimal amount, i really dont know how necisary they are. i used to think they were ok until COVID hit and they came up with the COVID vaccine which seems to kill people at a higher rate than disease itself.
i never helped with the birthing process, but i have seen cows give birth when i worked on a dairy farm. next kid i plan on being more diligent on finding a midwife, we just planned on moving and between that and not having money its been tricky trying to find a midwife
