    stoked i have everything crossed for you that you get your HB

    AE: that is i reckon a pretty awesome outcome! like Meow said, it's not like a normal hospital attached birth centre...can you visit the place a few times to get a sense and feel for it, so that when you do labour there you can 'claim' it IYKWIM?

    Marc: i am going to second Meow on this one as she said so well: beautiful birth blessings for you, your baby and family xx

    Yeah its the same place where I had Eden, so I'm ok with going there (would prefer to be at home of course) but its the closest I can get... so I'll take it!! I just hope that I won't labour on the toilet for this one though, I'd actually like to get in the shower or the bath this time for pain relief!! lol

    Stoked - Hi kymmy!!

    I've decided I'm having my baby tomorrow morning. I wrote it on a piece of paper last night and put it under my pillow and I'll do the same tonight.
    Had a really great chat with the backup midwife - she went to a doula conference a few years back and learned about this technique of planning your birthing date and telling your subconscious. She's used it since with clients in her HB practice and reckons it works 80% of the time.
    I need to have this baby - I'm knackered and can't sleep and out of room for more notes in my pregnancy book thingy.

    Marcellus: hope you are part of the 80% and it works for you! And if so then i'm wanting my baby on Monday! Don't think that's too much to ask!
