I think im all ready@:)
Hi Ladies,
Well i have 5 weeks left until my due date, My birth pool has arrived, i have all my plastic sheeting, and basically everything needed for the birth (i hope)
I had my 1st birth in hopsital, and the experience was rushed,I wasn't listened to, and ended up delivering on the ward something i dont want to experience again. However i am begining to get slighty nervous about my decision of having my baby at home (even though i've wanted this from the very start) my family (not my partner) are very anti home birth, and basically puting grave concerns in my head about the choice ive made
My partner and myself are determined to put all these comments aside, and have the birth i've longed for, have the ladies that have had a home birth let me know if they were happy with the choice of having a HB?
Any extra advise on my birth/words of wisdom would also be very much apprechiated
Thanks Ladies xxx

Like siandonna said you can change your mind right up until the last minute so try not to worry.
Hope everything goes smoothly for you, there's nothing like being in your own home just after giving birth and being surrounded by all your home comforts!
Good luck - let us know how it goes!
As the others have said though you can change your mind at any time but please do not let your family plant doubt in your mind. Totally your choice because its your body your baby and your right to choose
Cant wait to hear your story good luck xxx
First of all good luck with the home birth, i had my second at home and my family were totally against it, i was also very concerned whether i would be able to actually go through with it as i am definately pro drugs...LOL however my mw was very supportive to me and my partner and during labour i screamed that i wanted all sorts of things like epidural but never once screamed to go to hospital and gave birth in my pool at home, it was great!
So good luck xxx
I'd do the same again.
Hope it goes really well for you, it's so exciting!
