I have been thinking about gift too. i wondered about a nice clock on a string - but then again, i don't know if it would get used much, cos homebirth is less time conscious than hospital birth. Interested in what other people did.

I have my birth pool now! Car seat is in. Everything needed is packed on the change table, which will be moved in when things start to happen.

DD is very clingy with me last few days, doesn't want much of DH, everything is Mum Mum. Even wants to eat my cereal in the morning, and drink from my drink.


How did/are you spend your babymoon? My midwife recommended spending the first 4 days in bed except for toilet trips. How long did you stay home? Were you ok with visitors, or preferred to just have your little family there?
