| Mum (Mom) Active BnB Member  Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: London Posts: 145 | I'm really interested in having a homebirth. It is still early for me, 7 weeks!! But the thought of a hospital birth fills me with... dread? ....maybe fear is too strong... stress, anyway. I have had three hospital births (14, 11 and 9 years ago) and none of them were great. I am a bit overweight, 12 and a half stone, and my blood pressure is around the 170/90 mark. (I haven't had it taken in this pregnancy yet) The practise nurse just told me to lose a stone and do some yoga! So I'm not on medication for my BP. I wonder if this might put me at a disadvantage re homebirth? Also, at what stage do you have to say "I want a homebirth!"? With my other pregnancies, I attended the midwife clinic at the GPs and the crazy busy midwife clinic at the hospital! Do homebirthers do that too? Would I see the usual midwives that I would see if I was going for a hospital birth? Or is it all different? Sorry for all the silly questions! I'd just like to know what I'm up against. I've always assumed asking for a homebirth was like asking for the moon, what with the staffing problems! I find this thread fascinating and will keep referring to it as the weeks go on *fingers crossed*. Thanks girls, and good luck all of you!  |

Hi hun, I cant help re the blood pressure because ive know idea ... at 12 and a half stone you surly wouldn't be classed as over weight tho. Where i live home birth are encouraged .. the MW suggests them so it may not be like asking for the moon. Ive never seen hospital MW's anyway, im not sure why but even with my hospital births ive only ever seen MW's attached to my doctors surgery .... but with me the whole process from booking in appointment through to going into labour has been the same with both hospital births and the last and this home birth. .. the only difference has been when i go in to labour i phone them to come to me rather than get in a car to go to them. I told my MW at my booking in appointment that i was wanting to plan towards a home birth depending on how the pregnancy went but we didn't really confirm it and alert the other MW's to my wishes until i got to 32 weeks, If i was you hun id mention the subject to your MW just to get some answers to your questions and see what kind of a reaction you get ... good luck xxxx | |
