Narie...I'm a 30/40 min drive (I guess 20 mins blues and twos on a good run) and I planned to HBAC with no problem.


...no I ant say the ambulance journey I had either time was pleasant but hey there are worse things in life.

Celesse, I know you feel like you'll labour better in hospital and that's why you ultimately chose it. But how about planning a home birth with the choice to transfer to hospital (and just know yourself that you're going to likely want to transfer) just so you have the community midwifery team on call (and any birth pack and/or G&A) should you end up pushing or delivering before deciding to go up to the labour ward? That way, you have the best of both worlds.

http://www.madeinwater.co.uk/birth-pool-water-pump/ is a proper la bassine pump. no idea if you could get something similar from B&Q or whatever, it seems a bit pricey just for a pump tbh.

Someone I know is being induced. She had a sweep last week at 39w and has had niggling rubbish BH/ctx since then. Waters have gone and no labour. Im not going to say anything to her obviously, but am I right to be suspicious of the sweep? Just thinking of myself really for if I do decide to have one (wouldnt have one that early at all ofc, maybe at 41+w).

I think you can make it work by filling the hose with water before putting it in the water but idk how it would work when you're at home. where would i siphon it out to?

mines going down the outside drain, if youve got a manhole cover etc it could work. or would it work down the toilet? the water wouldnt overflow as it would kinda equalise the pressure? whether you use a pump or syphon its gotta go somewhere anyway.

or neighbours garden ^^

hmm for pumps look for pond or fishtank ones....syphoning is cheaper of course but you can get a little deely to start it off so you dont have to suck on it
