Beatrix: YAY for getting accepted! I reckon your DH will come around easily once he actually meets the midwives and sees that they are normal people I know that my DH was a bit frightened of having some militant man-despising person enter our house and chasing him away...so was really good to show him that HB midwives are just normal folk! And, their confidence on the normalcy of having a baby at home will have an effect on the both of you...it really will feel like the most normal (yet splendid!) way to bring a baby earthside I promise.
As for quick birth prep, they will provide squidloads of support for that too: that said, your home is generally all ready to go for a birth from 36-38 weeks onwards, so really, once you guys have discussed a birth action plan in case care providers are a bit behind you'll be set...and not freaking out about being left on the side of the road. the good thing as well, is IF it were to happen that baby arrives before the midwives, they (the midwives) won't be far behind.

Tanya: ahh a peaceful blessingway does sound nice! i am trying to get myself organised to have one...i am worried that i am getting so so tired that i won't bother, but it wont be fair on me or on our littlest member to miss out...
