have discussed with my mw about having a home birth and she is very happy for me to have one! With my last 2 babies i have had to be induced at 42 weeks and both times i wasnt anywhere near ready for labour! first labour was 48 hours long with every drug going second labour was an hour and natural but that was after 3 attempts at being induced and baby was in shock after literally just shooting out! so this time im not wanting to be induced which suprisingly my mw is happy with as she against having to induce woman who are not ready for labour but to make sure i dont go over she is willing to do a few stretch and sweeps to try and get me going which tbh im not keen on either as i have had then done before and were extremely painful but if means getting my homebirth then it can only be a good thing! plus with my 2nd baby my OH was kicked out after 30 minutes and i felt awful for him!
anyway! im looking for advice as to what i need at home , sheets , towels etc places where i can get bargains, how the midwifes work, when will they get to mine , how long after baby is born will they stay for, where is the best place to labour, (i was thinking about doing it in my front room on the floor) and any other advice would be great
sorry for the rambling
