Hello ladies
I have had my 28 week MW appointment today and have been passed for a home birth should i choose one.
I was booked for a home birth last time when i had my DD 5 years ago. The trouble was that when i phoned my midwife to ask her to come she refused saying that i had ages as i had only had a few contractions and to have a bath and phone her when things got going I may of only had a couple of contractions but i knew she was on her way now. I ended up making a mad dash for the hospital. My DD was born just as we arrived her birth from start to finish was 1hr 40 minutes.
I would just like some advice really. Do i go for the home birth that i would love and hope that someone gets to me before i push the baby out (without gas and air) lol. Or should i opt for a hospital birth where i may make it or have her in the car.
Has anyone had a home birth and had there baby before the MW arrived ? It is really worrying me that i may be alone and giving birth with no gas and air My DH works over an hour away
Has anyone had a completely drug free birth and lived to tell the tail ?
Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly received.
Thanks ladies. Hopefully you can stop me loosing any more sleep over this
