Hi, I am set for a homebirth, in water and hope there is no need to go to the hosp! I feel great, so I am confident the waterbirth will happen.

We moved from Canberra to Toowoomba at about 16wks, so our pregnancy care was a bit stop-start. We only decided on the homebirth half way through the pregnancy - the information we got from drs etc was not very helpful and motivated me to investigate other options. This led me to the only private midwife in Toowoomba and luckily she was able to book us in (she takes 4 due per month).

I have less than 4wks till due date and am really excited! My husband gets a month off, so will be able to share in the initial family bonding, this is our first baby, so it is going to be a special time!

I have had a showing 4 days ago, and I can feel a few different sensations down there, so things are progressing.

I just wanted to share my story as I have found it so helpful looking up bellybelly info whenever I needed a bit of information, or just to read experiences of others.

Might post some more as I get closer as I am VERY excited and the anticipation of the entire event is exhausting! Also I am quite bored at home... waiting .... waiting!
