Okay, FINALLY get to make my post in here.
We had been planning a home birth, but my due date came and went with no signs of labor. Once we hit 41 weeks we were having non stress tests every second or third day, and an extra ultrasound to make sure everything was still working okay. Tried to induce labor at home with castor oil to no avail.
On the morning of 42 weeks my midwife came over to manually break my water as a last ditch effort to get me into labor before we had to do a hospital transfer. Things looked positive, and my best friend and I spent a few hours walking around my neighborhood to hopefully get contractions going.
Our third walk finally did it, and I labored in the rental tub for a while before getting out of the water to push. Atlas Constantine Boddy was born on October 13th, at 3:37 pm, at home, a little less than six hours after we broke my water. 8lbs, 3oz, no drugs, no other interventions, no complications. His big brother Tycho woke up from his nap just in time to watch him be born.
