Apparently I could give birth any day.

I don’t think it’s likely, but it’s possible… as I’m 37 weeks now.

*deer in headlights*

I’m not ready, I’m not ready, I’m not reeeeeeeady. That being said… practically, I am in fact ready.

I’ve got all the supplies, a car seat, my midwife’s requests, and a whole bunch of other stuff (which I detail in the video, of course.)

Now, as I explain in the video, there are women all over the world giving birth without any of the supplies I’m sharing with you today. Women’s bodies, when all goes well, are certainly built to birth. That being said, there are many products and supplies that can potentially bring more ease and comfort to the process!

As you know by now if you’ve been hanging out with me for some time, I’m a huge fan of The Dutch Health Store. It’s my fave go-to for organic, vegan, and natural body care products, and it’s a small business owned by the lovely Wilma. Therefore, naturally, many of the products I’ve been using to prepare, as well as the products that I’ll be using to set the scene for birth, and on baby when he arrives, are from Wilma’s curated treasure trove. I honestly love sumptuous body care, just in general, and her products make my dreams of being pampered (whilst not harming myself) come true.

So let’s jump into the video! Join me as I galavant around town getting everything on my midwife’s list, and share all the other goodies I’ve got set aside for the big day.

Disclaimer here: This is my first time around the birthing block, so all I can do is speculate, do research, and speak with my other home birther mama friends (including my own mama.) That being said, I wanted to share what I’m doing to prepare in the hopes that it may help and/or inspire other mamas to consider birthing at home.

As always, home birth is my master plan and I’m going to do everything in my power to make it happen, but if God has other plans, well… we oughta listen to God.

Sending you all lots of love and light. (Think happy thoughts for me, please!)
