Hey - I saw that Princess Kate is having her baby at home. I imagine having a baby at the palace isn't quite the same as a regular home birth - she'll probably have half the medical staff of the UK available to her, but still I feel like this could be a nice little boost to home birthing. And really, who can blame her given the craziness of the last experience.... The whole "having to sneak in to the hospital" thing and reporters camped out waiting to see them, and the public appearance at discharge, and then the sad business with the prank phone call and that nurse. I'm not surprised she's avoiding the hospital entirely. I hope it does put home births in the public eye a little more!
I'm booked in with my midwives. Going to have the same one who delivered my last baby. Loved her - she gave me lots of information to make choices and was very supportive and easy going about what I wanted to do. They're going to book a dating scan for mid-March, which I'm looking forward to. Right now I'm feeling really good, which has me worried.... My last few pregnancies I've been so sick I couldn't function, and while I'm definitely enjoying feeling good, I'm a little concerned that everything is proceeding normally for baby.
