another brisbanite

[aatainc]

HI Everyone,
I'm new here. also into anti-vxing, natural living and about to have a homebirth. I'm on some other forums too but am keeping this older username from a dog forum! Just rather keep my more mainstream forum memberships in a different name cause goodness knows what would happen if my 'mainstream' friends or worse, in-laws!! read that I was on here! no, we don't disclose!

heaven help us when they find out we're having a homebirth (they haven't asked yet, 26 weeks, fingers crossed they won't until it's "too late") but all hell would break loose if they learned F isn't vaxed.

even more hell when they found out that she had w.cough last week. (but guess who she got it from!! grandad had "bronchitis" recently!!)

I"m looking forward to joining you all, although I"ll try not to be on here too often tbh as my addictive personality could leave me here far too often.

Thanks!

Hi there, I'm in Brissie too and had a homebirth last year :) You can read about it here (http://canterburygrove.blogspot.com/2008/08/rileys-birth-story-beautiful-home.html) if you like :)

Being here can be addictive??? Is there a disclaimer for that?:LMAO:

So glad to meet you! I do hope we see you often!

Welcome, aatainc!

Good luck keeping the important stuff under wraps.

Sort of funny. In the old days people would be trying to hide big things, like embezzlement or adultery. Nowadays people are trying to conceal homebirth plans and abstention from vaxing? Weird. Just plain weird. Whatever happened to a reasonable level of personal choice?

Good luck for your homebirth and welcome.

Hullo :) I've noticed people tend to assume you'll be going to hospital. It is easier to let them assume that. If they do ask where you're giving birth, you can say between your legs *snicker* usually that's enough to shut them up. In any case it isn't any of their business - its a personal health issue and its inappropriate for people to expect you to tell them about your personal health issues!

:rofl: quickening, that reminds of when I was on holiday in Auckland and these strangers came up to me and asked what I was having. I really couldnt be bothered talking to them so I answered "well hopefully its a baby because if its a puppy or something people will think I am weird" Probably a bit mean of me but it was very very funny.

that is a hoot, 3 monkeys!

Old, old movie, set in Berlin before the wall came down. Teenage daughter of American diplomat gets pregnant. German doctor is called in to find out why she is upchucking every morning. German doctor trying to explain to soon to be grandma what the problem is but runs into a language barrier. Little brother of teenager pipes up: "She is having puppies!"
