    I'm only just pregnant with my second now and just beginning the process of homebirth/VBAC research. Very excited and enthusiastic about it too .
    Woohoo Congrats on your pregnancy Jackrose.....if you need any help or support for your homebirth, just let me know....it can be a long road but its well worth it!



    1st birth - hospital - 7hrs - easy, no trauma, no fear, great experience, home in 4days!

    2nd birth - hospital - 2hrs - easy, not trauma, on fear, great experience, home in 4hrs!

    3rd birth - home - 10mins - easy, no trauma, no fear, FANTASTIC experience......

    Looking back, didnt even think of homebirth, they were for tree hugging hippys that lived in byron bay LOL.....followed the system because thats just what you did. Now feel totally lucky, like i had a very close escape from certain disaster having my babys in hospital (ok so a bit extreme but you get the idea). 3rd baby i just had the thought from the moment i fell pregnant. I will have this baby at home as WHY would i have it anywhere else! There was just NO need either time before to use up a hospital bed. I was perfectly ok and so were my babies! Home was right for our family. and if/when we have number 4 it will be at home

    Wow, Tegam - did you say 10 MINUTES with bub #3? Woah, you are the woman! I'll have to read that birth story! Sounds like home is the perfect place for you to be with super-fast births ...

    Did your midwife make it or was it a freebirth??
