I had a fantastic homebirth experience. My midwives Sarah Yea and Karen Duck were wonderful, they put myself and my husband at ease and interscted well with my 4yr old to keep her involved and calm. I didnt feel pressured to follow any instructions or specific guidelines, I was encouraged to do as I felt comfortable. I used gas and air for pain relief. Once I had delivered my son, the cord was left to pulse at my request. After delivery my husband and I were left to have skin to skin contact whilst midwives cleared away all the towels and pads etc with nothing other than personal washing for us to sort out. Midwives completed their checks and quickly left us to enjoy our son. I would highly reccommend a home birth as a relaxed and calming experience for all of us.
