hi ladies,
im due baby number 4 on 9th nov and just booked in for my 2nd homebirth (36+2)
my first homebirth was fab and i knew if i ever got the chance id def do it again..
my question is about - what to do with the other children in labour -
first time round, i had a friend come and take my other 2 daughters (then 4 and 2) out for the day as i was in labour 6am-2pm which was great but im worrying a little more this time as not only are there 3 of them to be cared for (now 6,4,2) but i have recently moved house and live in the middle of know where!!
i have a mum and sis near by but they kind of hoped to be here with me and dp during the birth - its also a little far from my friends where we lived before and so not really any good planning on having someone travel over....
if it happens in the night i guess its easy lol, and even if in school hrs (2 go to school) .... i just wondered if other people had any advice on what they did or did you let them come in !??
thanks
