Hello girls, I have left it a little late in the day but have just decided a home birth is going to be our best option. I have always liked the idea and always been set on having a birthing pool so it makes sense for childcare reasons. I am just waiting for mw to get back to me to confirm its ok as I just moved into a new area with hubby.
All family is literally 2-2 1/2 hours away and I have a couple for friends but not close to watch DD if there is an emergency and I have to go into hospital or if baby comes to quick for family to get here as I really dont want DS here in the final stages of labour incase it upsets her or she tries to get in the pool
Anyone got any advice or been in my situation with a toddler, how were they around the pool? Do you do think its still doable to arrange a home birth at 35 weeks? I think I have found a pool t buy from a friend of a friend who wasn't able to home birth. Also, my waters broke and I never really went into Labour with DD and was induced with the drip and because my bp went really high as my body went into shock I had an epi and I am worried I wont cope any positive thoughts? I have never really experienced progressive labour, it was just back to back contractions from the off.
