This is DC3 so am aware of the mess of birth to a certain degree but think I was just so out of it with the pain then elation of having a baby I can't really remember how much mess there actually was. Also pretty sure the midwives whip it all away and clean up pretty swiftly so you don't really see any of it in hospital.
I've been given the go ahead for a HB so just need to know what to expect don't have any desire for a pool at all just want to be at home really with my own home comforts post birth.
So what will I need? We have all hard stone floors downstairs & floor boards upstairs so no cream carpets to worry about. I guess I'd deliver on our bed so a protective cover for that? Although it already has one as we had a toddler that would sneak into our bed in the night fall asleep and wet the bed . Thank God we're past that stage!

So how messy is a homebirth? I don't want/won't be having a pool.
