Hello. Im pregnant with our second child and quite keen on the idea of a home birth. My husband says Im crazy, why would you take the risk. I have said that the first hint of anything being wrong you are going to be whisked off to hospital and that the midwives that assist home births are the most experianced. Although its me that is going to be doing the hard work I want us to both be comfortable and on board with the decision.
Anyone up for helping me talk him round / into it?
Our first was delivered in hospital with forceps after and hour and a half of pushing and although it was a bit fraught at the last minute the labour and even the delivery were a wonderful experiance. The large university hospital is five-fifteen mins away in a car depending on the time of day. My daughter was 8lb 12 and my only concern is that this one is likely to be bigger, though the first has likely prepared the road if you see what I mean :/
