Homebirth General Discussion #20

[Lady-bug]

Same as Bella, I didn't tell anyone last time, just said the hospital I was booked into for a back up but this time, I'm telling everyone. And most people assume we are home birthing as well. I've only had one 'you're brave' comment to which I replied 'no you're brave' as she is also pregnant and having an elective c/section. The conversation ended pretty quickly.

I tell anyone that asks that we're having a home birth. In a pretty low-key matter-of-fact way. If anyone asks what hospital what we're going to I just say we're having a home birth. I have had the "you're so brave" comment a lot. Now I usually reply "No, going to hospital is brave" and the conversation generally ends pretty fast

So you are not all doing it for the whale music and candles?

Sept is the opposite of June/July, clearly. Only one HBed bubba in three years in those months!

My little man was a planned H/B last June but I never dipped my toe in here (perhaps a gut feeling). He ended a hospy birth anyway so I guess doesn't really count in those stats

Hehe the June baby that was me. He is 2 on Sat!

Gosh and they are close! DS is 1 tomorrow (Friday!)
