Home Birth
Hi
I was just wondering if anyone has any good advice where a home birth is concerned. I had a bad time in the hospital with my son 6 years ago. I would like a water birth this time and would like to be at home as well as it looks more comfertable. If anyone has had a water birth at home i would welcome any advice you can give.
Thanks
Becky

There was lots of good responses to your question a couple of days ago on page 2 of this forum. I always end up writing too much after having a wonderful home water birth and wrote a few times on that one. xx
My lo is 12.5 months and I had a home birth and it was an amazing experience. When my OH called for the midwives, they came straight away and didn't leave my side til my baby was delivered safely, and checked over and made sure he was breast feeding, and the house was all cleaned up!!
When I was having contractions I was able to wander around the comfort of my own home, drink out of my own mug, eat my own toast. I was just so relaxed. I would have hated being in hospital and I'm sure I had a lovely birth because I was very relaxed at home.........Oh I could go on forever!!! But I REALLY reccommend it. Good luck and let us know how it goes
Thanks again for all the kind words.
