Yeah but aren't you friends with her on FB carla? You could ask her on there

I think I'd be too scared to have baby at home, sounds lovely and would love to be in my own surroundings/bed etc but I'd be too scared in case something went wrong, I'm too much of a worry wart!! And doesn't it cost a bomb? Do you have to have a doula or similar?

yes i had a home birth too and LOVED it!!

sorry i have not had a chance to reply sooner to this thread but seems like everthing has been covered!!

i wud def have a bag packed for you and baby just in case!

i had Sophie downstairs in the living room cos Oli was sleeping upsatirs! only things i had were a plastics sheet to cover the carpet and towels! make sure the bathroom is nice and warm so you can have a nice soak after baby is born. have clothes and towel for baby on hand. nice PJs to put on after. have moses basket ready.

cant think of anything else just now but if you want to ask anything then feel free!

i really enjoyed my home birth experience.

also decide where your giving birth... on bed, downstairs..

with jm i had an old mattress downstairs, Livvy was on the bed... put old mattress on bed just in case... if its night will finley be there? obviously you dont want to disturb him...
