    I told someone once that I wanted a homebirth I got the biggest lecture I never told anyone after that. So it was a surprise for many after I had DD. The select few I did tell gave the whole but it's your first speech. DH took enough to convince at first but now he tells everyone.
    For my future babies if it comes to not being able to homebirth don't know whether DH will let me free birth but I will not go to hosp!!! So don't know what'll I do. Its just so stupid this legal stuff at the moment!

    I think if we have another and im not supported to HB ill just pretend i will go to hospital and just spend a few hours on the toilet on my own and come out with a baby!

    I dont even want to go back to work in a hospital!

    Tegam I know it's still very raw for you!

    I'd stay and home and try not let DH catch on that I was ready to push, but once I've started pushing it'd be to late then right?

    i think people thought i was going to do that last time (if only...), DH works shift work and long shifts and friends would just 'drop in' to see if i was ok when he was away.

    Spoke to a mate today who was really excited when i said we were staying home, and that she was considering it if they had another bub.

    My Mum is coming with me on Tuesday night to see the movie.
