wow, what beautiful pregnancy dreams!

it sounds like your heart is letting you know what you need to feel safe and secure to open up and give birth.

regardless of what services are on offer, in a perfect world, what would be the ideal environment for your dream birth? maybe start drawing about it, or writing those things down? who is there with you? how are you moving, and sounding, and breathing? how are they treating you?

remember to visualise a lovely third stage and safe arrival of the placenta too!

and then see what is on offer from maternity services that fits best with your vision.

if you have to be in a hospital, that does not necessarily mean you have to labour there - you could labour at home and rock up 'fully and pushing'. Are there any doulas around?

another alternative is a home VBAC with an independent midwife.

outside births are lovely! But yes - probably not in July eh?
