Homebirth General Discussion #3

I think it's great Tegam. I don't think she would be able to give you too much advice in writing but perhaps your midwife might be happy for you to pay her for an appointment to chat it out. A pre-brief for this birth. I hope she supports an ante & post-natal package for you... sounds like a good idea. I've heard of freebirthers having an appointment with a MW to gain some emergency childbirth 'first aid' education too- maybe she might be willing to do that with you?

well done Tegam i think that it was written from the heart and is a first step in getting what is best for you and baby xx (also, mebbe it is worth PMing Tanya on here for practicalities etc things to consider if you do indeed end up birthing without a midwife being able to make it...you've read her latest birth story no doubt!).

Tanya?? Whats her user name?

Yes we did all the emergency stuff with her last time. I am also NICU trained so a off baby doesnt worry me.

Thank you for your advice ladies. I have been meaning to email her for weeks but couldnt come up with the right words.

Tegam- I had to say too, when I first glanced at your letter I thought it was going to be a really bad rant because I thought you were calling your MW a swear word

I think your letter is great - I hope the midwife is able to help you out.
I was thinking the same thing as Meow about the expletives
