32w4d - Preparing for Birth

So I've made my decision to have a freebirth. It has been something I've wanted to do for a while and I completely trust my body. I will clearly transfer to the hospital if something arises, but freebirth is what I'm doing.

I've got a small list of things that I'd like to get.. not 100% sure on everything, but this is my general list:

-Embroidery Floss for cord tie- going to make it pretty :)
-Cord Clamps in case of an emergency where the cord needs to be cut asap
-Sharp Scissors
-Gallon bag for placenta, I'm debating the smoothie. I might just save it to bury at a later date.
-Chux Pads. Like- 15 of em'.
-Towels. Not quite sure how many, depends on how cheap I can find them for. Maybe 10, but not in excess of that.
-Shower curtain or tablecloth
-Bowl for placenta
-Bowl for puke ;)
-various herbs for postpartum hemm. & retained placenta.
-peri bottle & some witch hazel.
Yep. 'tis it, for now, I think.
