Yay for just booking your home birth too Tegam- exciting times! Have you actually booked a midwife and you are considering cancelling? It would be hard if you have such sort labours. My last labour was 17 hours so even with a shorter 2nd labour I think my midwife will have time to get here!

So sorry your last birth didn't go well Cassius and I hope this home birth gives you a wonderful empowering experience We haven't bought Hello Baby yet but I'm dead keen- can't wait to add it to our reading list. My son is still just a bit too young to "get" that we're having a baby but I've taught him to say "big brother" and it's SO sweet

Great to have some "old" homebirthers too- thanks for joining in and helping us with our journeys
