Hugs to all those healing from their birth journeys...

My first birth was a planned HB but I went to hospital to be induced. My MW was excellent, it was an ok hospital birth, OB was respectful of my transfer plan. But yeah, still took ages to work through.

And like you Tegam DP thought what a waste of $5000! So this time around I have had to really advocate for myself with him to have this HB. Which is why I am working so long up to due date to afford the HB as DP refuses to pay for it :/ Lucky my MW will do shared care so I only have to pay for the birth itself and a few appts outside of it.
