Third baby, decided on home birth as second birth was so quick! We had an amazing experience with the home birth and would definitely recommend for a second or third birth following a successful previous birth. The midwives were exceptional, constantly monitoring heartbeat of baby, very reassuring and really made us feel at ease. Had baby on all fours in sitting room, midwives extremely careful containing any mess and made sure everything was clean before leaving (not really much mess at all as the midwives were constantly cleaning up if that is worry for anyone!) Husband was even allowed to deliver baby with assistance, totally made the whole experience worth while and gave him a great story to tell everyone in the pub about how he delivered his daughter! All very calm after delivery, cups of tea and toast all round! So nice to be able to jump in my own shower to freshen up. No uncomfortable journey back from hospital! Cannot thank my midwives Karen and Sue enough for all their support and assistance throughout the labour. We really would recommend a home birth to anyone.
