I know it's a little early to be thinking about this, but I'm considering having this baby at home. I never used to think I'd want to give birth at home because of the mess & possible complications etc.. but I've done a lot of research & it actually seems like something I'd be interested in.
I hated being in hospital & being by myself.. My OH wasn't allowed to stay with me past 8pm. Some of the midwives were moody & they made me feel bad about feeding Jenny formula (even though she couldn't breastfeed!).
I'm just worried that the midwives won't want me to give birth at home because I had a third degree tear last time. I'm unlikely to have another IUGR baby because last time it was due to my placenta not working properly, so that shouldn't be problem.
Has anyone torn badly the first time & it not been so bad second time around? & is anyone else considering giving birth at home?
