hi all!
i signed up on BellyBelly ages ago while going through IVF but the thread moved so fast that it was impossible to keep up so i am not sure if i ever posted or not! LOL!

But kaos just pointed me in the direction of this thread so i thought i'd jump in.

I am planning a homebirth (also in Port Macquarie). My last birth did not go as planned- partly because of some bad decisions that i made but mostly because i gave control over to the hospital rather than remain focused on my original birth plan. While i would not complain about the care i received in the hospital (the midwives really were wonderful) it is not a birth i want to experience again.

So while DH has some reservations he says that how i labour is up to me and he'll do whatever i choose (personally i'd love for him to be excited about HB! But i'll take indifferent for now!)

We had our first meeting (just a getting to know you type chat) with our midwife last weekend and that calmed some of DH's fears. The cost is the biggest killer for me. I second guess that side of things quite often and wonder if i am being selfish spending that much on me when i can just go to hospital for free. ??
