freebirth

What a journey...

In the past couple of weeks I have pretty much decided to have this baby here at home.

My desire to freebirth was rekindled by seeing The Business of Being Born as it stirred something in me that has always been trying to raise its head throughout this pregnancy... particularly after GBS became a 'complication' of this pregnancy.

Anyway, after doing loads of my own research non stop pretty much since thinking "i'm going to do this"... I've had the most wonderful release yesterday when i talked to my BC midwife about my fears of the AB's being pushed on me during labour and the way the hospital would want to handle my baby after its born.

I talked to a friend about it all last week and also about my concerns re who to have with me during the birth.. because I have had a desire to have only women supporting me with this birth, as I really feel like my husband isn't going to have
a) the knowledge of what is going on to be able to fully support me
b) the ability to keep his cool and not get stressed about my giving birth outside of a hospital...
but perhaps he'll surprise me.. I have to have a few conversations with him first so it seems :D
