Mine was my second child, but first birth. I had an elective c/s for #1 with a low lying placenta. So with only the knowledge from reading and BB (and an aversion to the VBAC policies of the private hospital), we went for a homebirth.
Best decision we ever made. My DD2's birth I could not have possibly imagined, it was incredible. I never knew just how much joy there could be in a single moment!
And despite not having laboured before, it went by the book and quickly. My birth story is in my sig. Ina May's book Spiritual Midwifery was my favourite to prepare.
