    Oh Helly I know the pain and grief that comes with mourning a hoped for birth journey. My first birth was very similar to your experience. The birth of my son, at home, healed me. I hope you can heal too. congratulations on the birth of your precious son Finn.

    Congratulations PZ!

    Helly, I've been thinking of you, and I feel upset for you that you were robbed by a stupid administrative rule. That was my greatest fear planning a homebirth.
    I hope you and your little one are doing well

    PZ, that sounds great. So glad you had the birth you wanted

    Thanks so much everyone... I somehow feel like I sabotaged myself by worrying about the deadline or something. Or maybe not. The question is, after two failed home births, the second so much worse than the first, am I game to go back again? I've always wanted three or more, but its kinda scared me off now.

    helly. I always think we should plan for the best possible scenario as well as the worst...so I would still recommend a Homebirth...but I totally get why you are questioning it.

    Congratulations PZ! I look forward to reading your story!


    Helly I am so sorry, sadly i know how you feel.... its ok to talk, just because it was a fairly 'normal' birth for most it was terrible for you! Know that you have support and friends here! HB next time for sure, dont let a horrid system stop you from being a mumma to another bub! Just learn to be quiet about when those old water break! Hugs and best wishes and you cope with all those mixed emotions about the birth and the joy of your new son!
