Telling Neighbours?


I can't decide if I need to let my Neighbours know I'm planning a Home birth!
We live in a middle Back to back terrace and we hear everything next doors do. From arguing, to baby crying to hoovering

Obviously we return the favour to them too !
Would you mention HB in case it got noisy? I would hate the police at the door if they think I'm being murdered
I wondered about mentioning it or whether to send a little card of say nothing at all

There is a good chance you may be pretty vocal so definitely mention it unless you want to share your birth with the police!

Ha ha I think you should tell them! We live in the middle flat sandwiched between 2 others and we are going to have to mention it I think or there might be a knock at the door just when I'm getting into the swing lol x

I wouldn't bother. They are far more likely to think you are having passionate sex than being harmed in any way. Maybe have lots of loud sex between now and then so they get used to it??

You could make a sign that says "Lady in Labour. Do not Disturb. Sorry for any noise." and on the day, stick that to your front door. ??

I'd let the neighbors know. I live in an apartment and plan to inform my neighbors as the time draws closer.

I live in a flat, and am thinking about putting a sign on the door, incase I get really noisy, I think Its more likely that they noise people popping round due to complaints if it is late!
