We went to another ante natal class last night - I've borrowed a book about water births. Most of the pics and stories have the dad in the pool too. I asked Si if he wanted to get in and he said no. I feel that I might really want him too, though, so I figure I'll wait and see and if I insist he's not going to refuse! I also think he'll feel more involved that way.

Andy got in the pool with me, it was lovely, it really felt like we were labouring together

He was right there to do light touch massage and to help me up when the MW needed to listen to bub's heart (they didn't have a waterproof doppler

)

If you can talk him round I'd highly recommend it.

all the water births I have seen show the man outside of the pool, personally I hate that, the men dont seem involved if that makes any sense? to me if the dads round he should be as involved in the birth as much as possiable, one reason why I want to be at home, no interuptions just me and him chilling!

I didnt have a homebirth with Jasmine... but she did have some complications when she was born and I can say that I was very happy that I had the help of an excellent specialist there to revive her.

I was skeptical of a homebirth before that incident... and that incident has confirmed my fears.

I think homebirths are more popular in the UK though... I liked my hospital and labour nurse.

I jsut realised re homebirths and things going wrong, if things went wrong I would have to go hospital, well my nearest main one is treliske a 30 min drive, its not the type of hospital you would give birth in but for emergencys its ok!
anyway 10 min walk from me is the birth centre which is were i will be if I cant have a homebirth, so if things go wrong there I would still ahve to travel 30 mins to treliske, so it makes no difference whether im at home or in penrice if things go wrong I still would have to travel the 30mins does that make any sense?

so if hubby starts goin on about worryin about something goin wrong i shall point this lil fact out to him!

I hope no one is going to bully you into thinking you "can't" have a homebirth. You can have your baby anywhere you choose, you may wish to choose hospital if there are serious and persuasive reasons. If this is the case then hospital is the only option, not a birthing centre. TBH there is no real difference between birth centre and home.

This thread is good because it's really helping me get informed. I'm so up for it - can't wait, in some ways.

Shifter, thanks for the advice - I hadn't thought of it before, but seeing all these pics of men in the water too made me think that if I'm in the pool, he's kind of separated from me, which isn't ideal. But I don't think I'll be able to persuade him yet, as he's thinking along the lines of what he does and doesn't want to do re. getting in. When I'm in labour, it'll be all about what *I* want (I hope, and not in a mean way!) so it'll be more possible to persuade him, I reckon.

And if I don't want him in, he won't be standing there, disappointed, in his speedos lol!

I asked OH would he come in the pool with me and he said no. I then asked him if i asked him to when i was in labour would he argue with me and he said no to that aswell

So looks like hes going to be doing whats safe for his health
