That's a load of rubbish, my MW booked me in for a homebirth. Write to the head of MWs and tell them that you WILL be having a homebirth (not want, will) and that you expect to be supported in this.

Within an hour i had a bath and was tucked up in bed with a cuppa and the midwives had left.
With Harry we had a birth pool and i was in and out of it but i didnt give birth in it.
I was worried about how much mess there would be before i had Dylan but it was all gone before i even noticed it, the midwives cleared up the mess, ran me a bath, made us all tea and toast, tucked us up in bed and left.
With #4 i am going to give birth in the pool providing everything goes ok. I got my pool from La Bassine online and its great.
Things did go a little bit complicated with my birth with Harry but it was all fine in the end and in fact it was a truly beautiful experience, we had both the other children there and Anais even cut the cord. It was amazing. This is my birth story if you fancy a read!

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about home birth, im quite an expert in it now!!!

Hi thanks for this reply, I am defo gonna PM you at some point, your a breastfeeding cloth bum wearing mommy who had a home birth......my kinda lady!!!! (no offence to those that dont do or dont wish to do those things, just its what i want to be doing!)

I read your post out to my hubby, and he seems to be starting to feel a bit easier over it, but think its going to still take a lot more to reassure him, I did say to him, are you sure your ok with me haveing it at home, he replied well i know once you have your mind set on something there is no changing it sooo...!!!
I had to point all the negs to him of a hospital birth but hes got quite a bit to learn!!

Must admit not sure about giveing bith on me bathroom floor...its tiny!!!

Did suggest maybe nursery, but maybe thats a tad to weird! Hubby said wouldnt the floor be uncomfortable....erm Im pushing a football outta a pin hole, I dont think Im gonan care tbh much about comfort!!!

marley2580 thanks for that link, I found it a really interesting (& entertaining!) read!

Thanks for that :-)

How do I get to the head midwife? Is it a head midwife of the hospital, or is it the head midwife of the surgery I am in?

Home birth and SPD? Is anyone considering this? I had a very bad SPD with my first and it just started again...

Torianna · May 10th, 2009, 10:57 AM

I'm planning on a home birth, usual reasons, hate hospitals, love home etc!

I did want a water birth but to hire the pool is looking a bit extravagant in many cases, but i will continue to investigate this fully.

When i met my new midwife at 20 weeks i told her i want a home birth, she flicked through my notes and agreed at that stage there was no reason why not, and that she'll srrange to come to the house to talk things through in detail around 30 weeks so i can make a fully informed decision x

It should be the person in charge of all the midwifes in your area. You should probably be able to find the details on google, but if not then a call to the local nhs trust switchboard should help. If all else fails, try contacting AIMS. I've got a couple of links to example letters to HoM if you need them.

Iv'e just posted a thread about homebirth in second trimester!
I really want a home birth after a lot of bad experiences in my local hospital,I have had 3 babies before, all my labours were short and straight forward.
This is my OH's 1st baby and he has his heart set on a hospital birth as he feels it as safer and is totally against our baby being born at home.
The thought of being in labour at the hospital is making me feel really anxious.
I cant win

Kinda similar to me but once I sat down and spoke with my hubby about it and showed him the links on this thread he is starting to feel a bit easier but still has concerns, can you get him to talk to your m/w if shes ok with you havin a h/b maybe to help reassure him!?
Mine turned out to be against it coz he was worried something may go wrong or I may not be able to cope with the pain, sweet of him to care but blinkin annoying!
