Homebirth General Discussion #10

[Ilithyia]

Well you're all gonna roll you're eyes as me but I've decided not to book into MGP.

Today I've woken up more positive about a healthy pregnancy and after discussion with DP, we've decided to just plan for the HB.

I've just emailed Tricia Stuart again to ask if she is available. Due to our financial position, I've asked her if she can provide reduced antenatal care/birth support only. I finish my Degree this year so I'm pretty confident I can do all my own antenatal care with the occasional visit from her. Plus I have a few Midwife friends who I'm sure could do the occasional antenatal check.

So with that said, a birth at home is back on the cards (at this point). Fingers crossed for a uneventful pregnancy!

Ok so I got a speedy reply from Tricia lastnight.

Good news and bad news.

She's moving to Cunnamulla to work as the Community Midwife but would be willing to fly back for the birth if she's able.

Do you think i'd have to pay for her flights?

Do you think I should suss out other Midwives?

It kinda suits me really due to the financial situation but its gonna make the "with woman" part of the journey a little hard.

Thoughts??
