So in my other thread I was worried about being forced into hospital strapped to a bed on a drip etc, well waters broke this morning, decided to stay at home until midwives said to do otherwise (if his heartbeat dropped etc) was only 3cms dilated so midwive left, 2 hours later called them to say contractions are very strong, stood up and within 3 pushes he was out, doula caught him, midwives arrived 5 minutes later and said he looks well and now I'm laying here on my couch, with my 7lb13 baby boy in a fleecy sling sleeping and all is perfect!
