Hello there, ive never been in this section before. Id never really thought about a home birth either, but after much discussion with my midwife and OH this morning we have decided to have one if things go to plan. Now my due date is 4 weeks on saturday, so im feeling a bit rushed now and feel i dont have much time to prepare. Midwife said she will drop off a box of things they will need, and gas and air a few weeks before the big event, but what do i need to do at home to prepare? I wont be having a water birth, but what will i need to do/get? What do i do with my bed? Obviously ill need some sort of waterproof sheet, but wont it be uncomfortable and awkward having to change bed after birth etc. See, im totally clueless, so any advice would be gratefully received!!!
