Can't wait to hear the rest of the details but that is a long labor! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-photographing-a-home-birth-today#post-1133232 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 09:39:03 +0000 Corduroy 1133232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I hope the baby is here by now! I'm sure she'll love newborn pics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-photographing-a-home-birth-today#post-1132975 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 23:36:55 +0000 runsyellowlites 1132975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Awww well maybe through the night that melatonin will help speed things up and you'll still be able too! I'd try a rebozo too.. I was at hour 37 when we finally tried it &amp; it immediately kicked me into more active/consistent labor!</p> <p>She is a rockstar.. hope she's been getting some rest and that bebe comes soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-photographing-a-home-birth-today#post-1132973 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 23:17:16 +0000 birdofafeather 1132973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So almost 36 hours after she texted me that her contractions were consistent, still no baby! I have a wedding OOT tomorrow so I have to leave in the morning. After texting with her doula, she says that the baby is slow going and it probably won't be until tomorrow. I'm super bummed to miss it but I'll be doing their newborn photos in a couple days instead. </p> <p>All I know is she is a rockstar for being in labor for this long (36+ hours), no meds, at home! </p> <p>So much for my short lived foray into birth photography! Guess I'm sticking with weddings and portraits! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-photographing-a-home-birth-today#post-1130942 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 01:22:39 +0000 Boheme 1130942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-photographing-a-home-birth-today#post-1130924 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 00:55:04 +0000 HLK208 1130924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So exciting!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-photographing-a-home-birth-today#post-1130921 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 00:44:09 +0000 birdofafeather 1130921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spent all day in anticipation but it was still early.
