Forum - Conception > 13 weeks - Congratulations your expecting. Rest your feet & start sharing your wonderful journey with others. This thread is called '
I had been booked to have a home birth with my last pregnancy but unfortunately i lost him at 23 weeks.
My loved the thought of being able to go thru my labour and delivery in my own surroundings and even looked into hiring a birthing pool.
At that point my previous 2 (out of 3) labours had all been relatively easy (well as easy as one can expect) although i had to be induced with my last so wouldnt have been able to deliver at home.
Under the circumstances now I have not really thought about having a home birth purely because i dont think my hubby would be able to deal with the worry - he worried enough before but with my recent history I think we would both feel happier at the hospital. I also now have high blood pressure which was discovered during the birth of my angel baby. I have been taking medication for it ever since so im not sure that the hospital would allow it anyway.
Giving birth at home i feel would be a great experience and I would say if your Midwife is ok with it I would say go for it.
Its my first and my midwife advised me to have a home birth She siad id be more comfortable in my own surroundings and id get all that i wanted from the hospital at home anyway, but i still wanted her to put hospital down!
This is my first (and is going to be my only) baby and i'm planning on having him/her at home. There's no way i'd go to hospital unless it's essential that I do so
I would love to have a home birth but due to previous labours I am scared to do this. My DS was distressed everytime I had a contraction so it was panic stations with a ScBU on standby and forceps delivery. Found out the cord was pushing against his. My DD arrived very quickly fully dilated to delivered in less than 2 mins, and as a result got cord around her neck so was delivered and wisked away to be resuscitated. I really think it will be hospital birth again All being well I might be able to use the pool early on tho.
Ohhhh I think you are all really brave to comtemplate a home birth, nevermind go thru with it.............I am the bigeest wimp you would ever meet so I am going where they have the hardest drugs and the sexiest staff, to keep my mind off things I would never do it at home incase I had to go to hospital for any reason, the last thing I would want to do is to travel whilst in labour
I did the last two without any pain relief but this time I'm contemplating all the drugs I can get Its quite bizarre when had dd had forgotton about the pain, but this time its still quite vivid. Still hoping I might just cough and baby pops out (see previous thread on 3rd pg.)
Ohhhh I had all the pain relief going last time, including TWO epidurals, and they didn't work So I am adding a tens machine and hypnobirthing to the mix too this time
