Hello
I am currently 20w and looking into my options.
I am schdeuled to have a birth at midwife-led birth center which is part of a hospital.
Can someone describe how does it work there? What do you do after you arrive?
My birth center has 8 beds and 4 pools. I would like to have a waterbirth. Is there a likeliness that all pools will be taken by other women at the time I arrive, and if yes, what will happen then?
After baby is born, can you stay in the room or do they move you somewhere else? Can your partner sleep there?
What happens if I have huge pains and will ask for epidural while in the poool. I gather this can not be administered at birth center and they will have to move me into consultant rooms? How does the consultant room would differ from birth center? And do you still have choices of birthing positions there or is it just lying on your back? What happens there after baby is born?
Sorry for all these questions, but I find this forum much helpful than my midwife.
