I kind of figure if I'm going to freak out the family with a homebirth, might as well go the whole hog (kidding)


I am thinking exactly the same!

Thanks for that advice Karen van, that thorough explanation is exactly what I needed to help make the decision.

I do love the idea of letting a baby separate in their own time, much as I like the idea that a baby gets to choose their own birth date and announce their own gender when they do arrive. I just like the whole idea of going with the flow with labour and birth - and I guess I am lucky enough to be able to indulge in this with a complication free pregnancy so far. (I am by no means a hippy, but I am realizing that I am beginning to sound very much like one )
