It seems everyone I know who has attempted a home birth has transferred. Granted, most of them were first-time mums so that might have had something to do with it (not knowing what to expect, midwives more pushy to transfer since they have an 'unproven pelvis', etc..) but it's really getting me down. It's made me feel that I should prepare to transfer and then be glad if I don't but I don't want to go into it thinking that way. On the other hand, I don't want to be really disappointed and feel silly if I do end up going into hospital.
If you had to transfer do you wish you had considered the possibility so you weren't so disappointed or do you believe that 'keeping the faith' is important?
