Hi all,

I know its early, but I am interested and excited about giving birth again! With DS I dilated quite quickly (for a first timer), tho DS got stuck on the way out (posterior with a hand up beside his face), so that slowed things down a bit. I was warned by the midwife to expect a quick labour this time, all things going well. I don't want to turn up to the hospital early, but neither do I want to be unprepared.

So what I am after is a good source of information for DH and I to read on the basics of dealing with an unexpected homebirth. (I assume also that the ambulance phone people can talk you through what do to?) I am NOT preparing to freebirth, but I just want to be prepared in case we don't make it to the hospital.

I know this has happened to at least on BBer, so please share your thoughts etc.
