Hi, i´m looking for advice on this as i´m now 30 weeks pregnant, and i´m having my baby in Peru in a home natural water birth. I´ve spent my pregnancy between England and Peru and so have have varying prenatal care between the two countries. the midwife who is delivery my baby here in Peru is now away until 1st July when I will be 35 weeks and I havent seen her since I was 27 weeks!
so anyone who has had a home birth at what stage did you call the midwife to come to you? my midwife lives at least 1 and a half hours from where I am so I dont want to leave it too late, but I also dont want her to come and then be there waiting for 20 hours! Obviously I know it should be when contractions are around 7 minutes apart but with my first baby 11 years ago I stayed 1 centimetre dilated for hours while getting regular strong contractions!
any help would be very appreciated!
