    Hey ladies, sorry it's taken me so long to post!! Been so busy with a newborn, it's fantastic My birth story is up. We ended up transferring as there was a lot of meconium in my waters, but I am 100% happy with that choice, surprisingly. I thought I'd be shattered, but I don't think I truly understood the words, "Homebirth is a philosophy, not just a venue", until I had such a fantastic birth in a setting I didn't expect to be in. We had our HB program midwife with us instead of a hospy one, and our doula. It was a powerful an uplifting experience, and even though I had some gas in the ambulance, I am okay with that decision too. I had a pretty huge crisis of confidence initially whilst and shortly after transferring, and the moment my middie and Doula arrived, I found my calm again I even ended up breathing Isla out, it was just the most peaceful and tranquil birth I could have hoped for
