My non-waterbirth baby was born in a sea of muck as my waters broke as he was born and blood and gore even splashed up the walls...
DH still reckons that cleaning up the birth pool after the birth was like a scene from the 'sopranos' lol. i told him to shuddup and keep cleaning lol.

can i ask why a baby wouldnt be allowed to the preschool? here they encourage siblings at reading times etc.

i had to giggle at the info night first-timers. they are also prevalent at the MN info nights. and the calmbirth course that i attended. i giggle and cry all at once. i have become a little more feisty in showing them that i am 'normal' and like them but just choose to have a baby at home and why. it might not change their mind, but at least sows a seed or two....hopefully.
