Didn't mean to hit reply there.
I used Maggie Howells hypnobirthing book and CD, it was truly a great experience, hubby loved every minute too and the midwives I got on the day were lovely. My own midwife beforehand wasn't very supportive of the homebirth at all, I'm so glad it wasn't her.
It transpires though that I had strep b. I had went to the hospital weekend before she was born as I felt I had a urine infection, they done a swab and gave me antibiotics for a kidney infection and sent me on my way. I went into labour the Monday she was born Tuesday morning and my midwife called me Friday afterwards asking about her colouring, breathing etc.. Came out checked her over and explained I actually had strep b. DD was fine though, but I know you are more likely to have it again in which case I'd need a hospital birth for antibiotic drip. I know I'm very newly pregnant but it's already really bothering me that I might not be able to have the birth I'd want, but obviously have to do what's best for the baby.
