I'm 32 weeks, had an antenatal appointment today and mentioned to the midwife that I was considering homebirth, and she was enthusiastic and has booked me in for a homebirth consultation. I'm really unsure though; I wouldn't have considered it under 'normal' circumstances, but in the current ones a) avoiding hospital and b) having DH there throughout are things that are swaying me to at least consider it.
This is DC2 and DC1 was a straightforward, unassisted birth apart from a retained placenta (which apparently is more likely than average this time because of this, but still more likely not to happen) but I was quite unhappy with the care I received in hospital.
I don't really know anyone who has had a home birth in real life, so was hoping to hear about other people's experiences, both good and bad? And particularly if you've had one very recently.
