I'm 19+1 and thinking about birth plan. I really want a home birth. Last labour was quite quick - around 4 hours - so think I'll feel more relaxed knowing I don't need to get anywhere. I've also never spent a night away from DD, and don't want the first to be an overnight hospital stay.
But nearest family are 2 hours away, so chances are our toddler (she'll be 22 months old) will be at home with us. Our house is not huge, and all downstairs is open plan. I'm worried she'll find it traumatic seeing (and hearing) me in labour.
Would love to hear positive stories of home
