Long time no see! Some of you might remember me as we planned a home water birth with Missy...who, somehow, is now 3 and a half months old 
....
I really can't remember coming back here to update what happened but the long and short of it was my waters broke at 12.30am on the Wednesday and we laboured at home and in the pool for more than 20 hours before transferring to hospital, this was our decision, and eventually delivered IJP at 3am on the Friday!
It was an awesome experience though and everything we had done to prepare, the Hypnobirthing etc, really helped, even up to the very end in hospital and more importantly than anything, our daughter arrived safe, well & happy.
We are NTNP again now and will be planning another home water birth and maybe this time, baby won't be so stuborn and will come out a little bit quicker!
I just wanted to say to all of you about to embark on it, enjoy, the memories of being in the pool and looking out to our garden on that gorgeous August day are some of the best that I have, and I imagine will have, for life

Were you able to keep up the natural methods in the hospital as well? Or was she super stubborn?
, but I didn't realise it was you! Gorgeous!
I know what you mean! There's a picture of me bouncing away on my ball (once in hospital), zoned out in my own little world, TENS machine in hand. And it's not going anywhere near public view! But lucky for Pops, she's got a beautiful, natural, birthing mama thing going on!
