Making your birthing room a cosy space... your ideas

[Janet]

Thanks, Feathertop.

Especially to you Janet as I really like your ideas!

I'd love a home birth and just may well have one next time around. My original plan was to stay at home until I absolutley had to go into the hospital, which is a 10min drive away.

I'm now being induced at 37 weeks at a hospital 3 hours away! So part of making the room cosy is wanting to get some control back over the situation too!

I love the fleece blanket idea, just perfect, and I will definatley be taking my blessing-way necklace too. I like the idea of the signs too, I was thinking of putting a copy of my birth plan on the door and highlighting the part which says don't come in unless you introduce yourself to my birth partners and state your reason for being here! No stragglers please!

I like your suitcase idea, very tricky indeed Although I am being induced and will need monitoring, I plan to have an as active birth as possible so this would be a good one!

Thanks again everyone this has been really helpful.
