Hello ladies, I was all booked for a home birth with my last child. I rang my midwife after my second contraction because something didn't feel right. It was 1am and she told me to have a bath and phone her in a couple of hours. I explained that i didn't have that long and she laughed and said it was very unlikely that i didn't have long. I shouted my husband to take me to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital and were told to go home and phone the midwife i explained that i had and if they sent me home i would have the baby in the car. A very stroppy midwife took me to a bed gave me some gas and air and looked at my notes. I shouted that i wanted to push she opened my legs and said "no your no where near" to which i told her to break my waters so i could get the hell out of there. The midwife gave a sigh and did as i asked. Well all hell broke loose she broke my waters and my DD came out with them. I don't think i have ever seen anyone looked so shocked. My labour had lasted 1hr 40 minutes.
I would really like a home birth this time but i am so worried that i am going to be all alone with no gas and air lol when i give birth as no one will listen when i say i need them.
