how do you go about planning to have the baby at home?
what type of things do you need at home? have i left it to late/

i hate hospitals you see and im already using hypnobirthing i just like the idea that you dont have to stay in hospital after the baby if i have him at home! x

For what it's worth (and anyone else's information), Vitamin K (Konakian in a glass ampule) does not need to be kept in the fridge. Mine isn't in the fridge, and the Vitamin K that we give at work, which is exactly the same, is kept in a normal drug cupboard.

Try reading up here on the Home Birth Reference Site. It goes through it quite well and has lots of links.

My midwife had said they'd attend a home birth from 37-41.5 weeks, implying an "overdue" pregnancy wouldn't be attended. I think this is because they plan here to induce you from 40+10. If it comes down to it, I won't agree to an induction until at least 40+14, and if I go into labour in those four days between, I'll still call them out and expect them to turn up.

Hello all, thought you might like to know that I had my beautiful baby girl today!!!

She was born at home at 13:00hrs, wt 2720g (6lbs). Breastfeeding like a pro!

Everything went perfectly well, only used gas & air but it was hard work, physiological 3rd stage,no tears despite her coming out with her hands on her face, no complications throughout, I'm so happy!!! Had a fantastic mw & student.

Wishing you guys all the best & hope you achieve a great homebirth like I did.x.x.x.
