While I am waiting for my HB I thought I would write this thread for all those other first timers who are planning HB's. I am a first timer and I have no idea whats going to happen or whether it will result in a successful HB but I thought this could be useful to others in my position...

Oh the bliss of the first morning after a homebirth. One of the absolute highlights. Hope all's well.

Been following this thread, wow, makes me sooo broody. Hope the choc family are all doing well

Is there any lemon curd to go on them crumpets?

lauraloola · 10/11/2008 09:58

Still no news then. I must stop neglecting dd to keep checking - I am a bad mother

sunnygirl1412 · 10/11/2008 10:03

...passes out the tea and toasted crumpets (dripping with butter as requested).....

I think that very little housework is going to get done in the mumsnet households where this thread is being watched! But hey, who cares - new baby v clean kitchen - no contest!!
