What do I need to get/have for a homebirth

[CADS]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone had a list of things that are required for a home birth.

Have been waiting for a home assessment since 28 weeks but midwife wouldn't do it because baby was breech.

Scan today confirmed baby is heads down and I want to get things organised as am now 36+4 and am worried that baby might decide it wants out before the midwife has had a chance to do the assessment.

Thanks

dunno if anyone has mentioned but I found my birthing ball invaluable during the first stage. I was hanging onto it for dear life and sinking closer and closer to the ground with every contraction. It really helped having something like that to lean on/hold onto. You can get them REALLY cheap at Argos, gym ball I think they call them.

CADS - just found this so have checked it out though seems the list I got from my midwife covered most of it. She did add 'industrial strengh tea' for her or colleague though!

Looks like there are 3 of us going for homebirths about the same time, hope we all get what we want.

All I had to buy was a plastic dust sheet thingy.
£2.99 from the DIY section of Asda, the midwife bought the rest.
