Homebirth General Discussion #10

[Ambersky]

I just got the paperwork in the mail with the appointment at my back up hospital (not my hospy of choice, but I'm stuck with the new 30min rule).. There was a consent form enclosed.. Bahahahah... Please bring the completed form to your appointment.
So Umm they want me to sign a form that says 'my condition and prognosis have been explained/the risks have been explained/outcomes cannot be guaranteed ect ect' now? I think NOT!

[Eenee]

Still nothing happening here!
They turn our water off on Monday so what's the bet I go into labour then!

[HotI]

yeah, i had a notice saying my elec was going to be out for a day and thought i would go into labour then - had the candles just in case.

maybe store some water, and borrow an urn?

When my mum had my little sister at home the power was cut off our street at 9am. She was born at 7.30am so we boiled water for sterilising the MWs things, mum had a shower and then we basked in newborn baby all day long with a quiet road outside as it was cut off to traffic. It was awesome! Maybe the water will be cut off just after you need it em and things will be nice and calm
