Hi girls Glad Cass said above that anyone can pop in I've got some questions about home birth, I mainly would like to know how you got over any fear of anything going wrong (if you had any)? both dh and I were pretty keen on a home birth for ds but ended up at the private hospital as it had such a fantastic reputation. I had a beautiful 100% natural waterbirth and our stay at the hospital was also fantastic. The whole experience was fantastic and in hindsight we are glad we went to the hospital for our 1st birth as the care from the midwives was fantastic. But now we know what we are doing with breastfeeding etc and the birth was so quick and dare I say it easy I think we would ok at home for #2 yet there is still that fear in the back of my head of a 'what if' something did go wrong That would possibly make me less relaxed and things may not go as smoothly as the first time. I've thought about home birth stacks since ds was born and even more so now that I'm thinking of lowering our health insurance because I don't know if #2 is ever going to happen... So why am I even asking about a home birth OK so maybe I'm just thinking out loud so that I'd be comfortable with the home birth idea if #2 does happen and I've dropped the health insurance. Other things I have considered are that I would really want ds involved, where he was born they wouldn't have a problem with it or with him staying with us at the hospital either but at home he would be so much more relaxed and in to it iykwim. Thanks for any advice
Cherished: I got over the 'what if something went wrong' with the fact it's the same with hospital birth, like what happens if something went wrong on your drive to hospital? Sonreally I seen no difference if if so somewhat safer at home. And really my MW had everything needed for an emergency anyway. And I felt safe and trusted her, and given I got to choose how long I had her there for whereas in the hospital you are sharing a MW and don't have someone there that knows you and could possibly tell before things got bad iykwim.
If something goes wrong, my midwife and i will probably detect it earlier than if i was in hospital, and we will deal with it. Hopefully, we can work through it at home, if not we will get extra help. The things that went wrong last time for me, went wrong because i was in a hospital.
Went swimming this morning with my DD. it was lovely just walking laps of the pool holding DD as she was kicking and blowing bubbles. Still want to get to the pool by myself too so i can swim some laps.
