Can anyone give me any advice here?
I'm considering a hb for #2 (I'm 14 weeks pg at the moment). My community midwife is supportive, and the local maternity hospital was a horrible, horrible experience last time. I don't want to be there again.
But I have a DS, 2.6. And apart from DH, who will obviously want to be at the birth, no family locally (closest 70 miles away), or good enough friends to look after DS.
Can you have a hb with a toddler around? DS doesn't sleep well (has never slept through) and I can't imagine him staying out of the way / not being traumatised.
What did others do?
