Dont joke about it ... thats exactly what i tried to do last time

I decided to have a little mini fit and scream for a Ambulance saying that id changed my mind and wanted to go to the hospital...

..at the time i was 10cm dilated and just starting the pushing stage ... it was only a little moment of silliness tho and i didn't mean it .... the look on the MW's face was classic tho

OMG Im sorry but

I just want to let everyone know that even if it all goes tits up and you have to transfer, you can still feel positive about your birth if you have supportive MWs. I ended up with a section after transferring last time, but because we tried everything I still feel positive about things.

OK random question.....what about your neighbours? My hubby wants to prewarn mine incase, either I end up screamin or he screams from me rippin his manhood off............(in which case would prob be hard to tell my screams from his!!)

on the subject of wanting a last minute transfer: i read this birth story from www.homebirth.org (a woman named Julie Kennedy under the hypnobirthing homebirth stories section) and it really made me chuckle

"Finally about 2.00am I got very upset and cried and said I couldn't stand it any more and we would have to get up and go into hospital and I would have an epidural. It did cross my mind at this stage that the symptoms I was showing were almost exactly like those of transition - but obviously I couldn't be in transition yet as the contractions were too far apart and not painful enough .

Thankfully for me, Donald was much more in touch with what was really going on than I was, and he guessed straight away that I actually was in transition and that things were about to move into the final stages. When I told him my plan to get up and go into hospital he said 'OK that sounds a good idea - let's get up, get dressed and go and have a picnic on the floor of the lounge'. For some reason I didn't see any conflict between my plan and his, and I agreed to do this without any further fuss. He told me afterwards that he was convinced that if he could get me up and some food into me I'd be fine for the rest of the labour. As it turned out he was completely right."

i love it...thats the kind of mad conversation i could see myself having with my DH mid labour..me saying something like i give up and we should go to hospital and him convincing me i actually suggested a carpet picnic!

All my neighbours knew last time and will know again but we all get on quite well anyway, ones even god mum to my youngest .... 3 of my neighbours saw the MW arrive and hung about outside on the green waiting for news and popped their heads round the door to say congrats once she was born.

This time my closest neighbour is also pregnant so ive promised not to scream to loudly in case it puts her off lol






Yep purple_socks thats pretty much how things happened with me except my OH is more of a "dont be so silly and get on with pushing will ya" kind of bloke lol

Hmmm! i wondered about neighbours too! i dont know mine well enough to broach it! it is a good idea to tell them though I suppose (in case they panic and ring the police )

well after being at the hospital for 3 hours today for dating scan, me and OH most definitely wanting home birth now! just an awful place ... :shudder:

i never gave much thought to my neighbours...they're both quite old and deaf but i might tell them nearer the time just incase i freak them out!

I hate my neighbours, so I could really care less if they are disturbed or not! It would serve them right for being so nosey all the time!
