[TeggieCampbeggBlegg]

following couples choosing home birth with an Independent Midwife.

Looks really good.

Who'll be watching?

Sky+ set so I can ff the ads! Thanks for the reminder!

Oo thanks for that info. I had my third at home with an Independent Midwife so will watch with interest. It was a great decision for me.

Bumpy.

An hour to go. ..............

I'm watching. We will be discussing it I'm sure when I teach pregnancy yoga on Monday.

Ready!!!!

Looking forward to this!

Oh thanks, saw your post just in time to switch on. Will be interesting as I had my third at home as well, a wonderful experience.

Watching. Was really scared they were going to be lentil weaving hippies but they seem really nice and "normal".

Gutted I didnt think of a gazebo and fairy lights!

Wow, 9lb 13oz, gorgeous calm baby!

Lovely lovely lovely.

And then a chuffing formula advert. Grrrr.

But Teggie, look how sunny it gets when you switch to formula!

God! Had to rewind to see the ad.

So is autumn and freezing depressing winter for breastfeeding and sunshine and flowers after you decide to "move on".

Actually laughed out loud.

Tincle - my 14 yr old daughter pointed that bit out.

Abyway. Back to the births.
Good strong women.

Wonder which ones of them are on MN

Love Mena (sp) she seems like a lovely calm woman, hope she has a fab birth. Imagine being on call during your son's wedding

I wish they showed more of the births and less of the midwife.

Crying my eyes out. What a way to greet your baby.

Amazing.

I had a mum email me on Monday who had a lovely waterbirth the day before. I was so pleased for her.

I'm glad Lyndsey had a good birth, as a fellow horrific 1st time childbirth sufferer it's lovely to see a calm homebirth without intervention.

Am loving it, have had 2 homebirths, none in water though.

Cant believe the first ladies partner got in the pool. My DH refused to get in. I told he was in charge of the sieve but he was having none of it!

As it happens, DS was born on living room floor so he was in charge of coffee making and biscuit bringing instead.

[happy sigh]

I think the last delivery shows why 'low risk' can't be predicted. Thank god baby ok but I couldn't risk it.

Personally I wouldn't have had a homebirth for my first baby. First labours are often unpredictable, you don't actually know if you can birth a baby, if you will dilate etc I know there's always a risk with subsequent pregnancies but I think once you've had a straightforward VB chances are you'll have another. My first labour was a straight forward 4h 20m VB, had a few issues delivering the placenta so chose physiological third stages for the next 3.
