Had a bloody awful time in hospital with DS and do not intend to go back unless I HAVE to.
My midwife at doc's surgery was very supportive about my wanting a homebirth.
Then when I went to book in with the hospital, the midwife went 'eeeeeeeekkk... errmm.. are you still wanting that?' I was like yes and she gave me this weird 'you are a lunatic' smile.
The consultant then said ' you do realise that is only if everything is absolutely A-ok? Well... I'll put down that you're wanting a homebirth anyway'.
Why are they being like that?
I would also appreciate any tales of experience of homebirth.
