you should do it if thats what you want :) x

I personally do not want a home birth simply because I am worried that is something goes wrong there is no equipment to sort it out! Where as in hospital they have everything and are prepared for anything that might go wrong!

GO FOR IT! im 28weeks 1day pregnant.. and im due april 6th.. i wish i had the confidence you have too have a homebirth.. i think it;d be an amazing experience and im sure ud feel alot more relaxed.. i think you should go for it.. and that if you havent had any severe problems throughout the pregnancy and its been normal.. then it shouldnt be a problem.. im hopeing too have a water birth.. :)

i recon you should do it :D id love to have the confidence to have a home birth.. but im hopeing to have a waterbirth xx

:)

You should do it :) youd be more comfortable in your own inviroment you have always got the hospital as a backup plan if anything goes wrong but im 99% sure everything will be fine.

i want a home birth, i recon you should have a home birth if you want to, then go for it, wil be a new experience, can also have as much family around you for support as you want, it wil also feel good as you will be more comfortable at home and may feel more relaxed xx

i think you should defo try a homebirth it might be very good wxpirence x

Children are a lot less phased by child birth then we expect them to be. It's like they instinctively know that it is safe and natural. Fear of child birth is a learned thing ;) I have friends who have had their toddlers/children actually in the room with them while they give birth, and none of them are traumatised. They're excited more than anything.

I think you should try a homebirth if that's what you want, espescially if you have support from your midwife- there's no need to worry. You're less likely to have intervention at home and that's a very good thing! I think if i ever had another child I woild like a homebirth. I like my surroundings to be familiar and hospitals make me very nervous and scared! As long as you have the means to get to hospital should the need arise then I think it's a good idea!!!! Good luck xxx

Has anyone had a bad experience of a home birth? What do you need to think about before going ahead with this birth plan?

Hi hun, Ive just wrote a blog on my experience of homebirth/waterbirth, it should be up in a few days! Best thing I ever did, Id deffinately repeat the experience xxxx

I REALLY want a homebirth so very badly, but with three children at home I'm too worried that they'll freak out if they hear me moan or scream when the head crowns. The majority of times, I laboured in the middle of the night and I really don't want to wake them up. I also don't have anyone that could come and collect them and take them somewhere. Only someone that could come and stay at the house to keep and eye on them and make sure their fed and played with etc. I'm thinking homebirth might be out of the question.... :( xxx
