Oxygen and drugs? My midwife said I didn't have to book into a hospital.

I didn't book into a hospital. My midwife brought the oxygen with her to the birth. She organised drugs and left them in my fridge a week or so before the birth. I borrowed the birth pool from my midwife and got it a couple of weeks pre-baby.

I got drop sheets, buckets, towels all in one place in 3rd tri sometime. My midwife suggested i get remedy rescue drops, which is a herbal anti-anxiety type thingy. I would probably also get manuka honey if i was doing it again, to aid any healing of sensitive bits.

Sounds like a good session, Meow.
