hahahahahahaha, i know right?! lol. ahhhh i am a shocker mrs crocker....just love the thought of HB and the support that comes with it IYKWIM. i was reading the chapter from Danni Minogue's book (go Nic and helen!!!) at the airport and it just made my heart swell to hear how they were able to support her and love her during what ended up being a really tough birth journey. it helped her get a good emotional outcome despite what must of been a really harrowing experience.
A quick intro - DS was induced (due to GD), epidural, gas, not a very nice experience.
DD was spontaneous labour, birthed in the bath at the local birth centre a couple of blocks from my house. Went there at 5am, born at 7am, home at 10am. It was a great birth, the only downer was that DH had to stay at home to look after DS.
So this time we are thinking of skipping the child care issue (no family around) and just doing the birth at home.
My only requirement was a birth pool since we only have a shub and not a full bath and I found the water amazing pain relief for DD. But I just had a midwife appointment and she has organised a birth pool for me so it looks like a home birth is a good possibility now
