Hi

I was wondering if I could jump into this thread? I have a seriously bad memory at the moment and can't remember if I joined in sometime ago? I'm having my first baby at home and am due 17 March.

I'm really excited and so is my sister, who is my birthing partner. My husband will be my birthing partner as well, but in case he is interstate for work for some reason and is delayed, she will be my rock!! My husband is really nervous about the whole thing and its kind of irritating me that he hasn't bothered to do any research, is just sitting back on his paranoia. I've given him research to read, he has met with the midwives but he hasn't bothered to read anything or open his mind.

Nevertheless, I am excited and can't wait to meet my little girl! I have hired the pool, to be picked up in three weeks time and this weekend am going to purchase the rest of the towels etc that I'll need. Then its just nesting and affirmations time!

I know what you mean ree ree about the OB, I had to visit one at my backup hospital and they told me there was a chance that my uterus would be incompetent and tried all sorts of scaremongering tactics!
