This is my 5th pregnancy....the previous 4 were all hospital births in UK. The last was a prem c-section at 32 weeks, otherwise all normal and pretty speedy....
My ( private ) obsterician has agreed to attend.....and I have a maternity nurse booked to come from UK,( who has come for all the previous babies ), who is also a midwife.
I have a ' back up ' bed booked in a local maternity hospital..
Are there such things as doulas in France ? ( have asked colleagues at work about this but they all seem to think I am barmy to be contemplating HB, and quickly run away...! )..would one be a useful addition ? And would one be willing to come from UK ? I am think ing she may be a good set of extra hands....
I'm due in first week of october....
Any other thoughts/ comments welcome.
DH is A&E consultant...he will be there too, so feel ' safety ' issues are all covered
