Antental & Postnatal Care and Home Birth in Warwickshire

Well it wasn't the home birth I wanted (I had pretty in effective contractions that went on and on and ended up in hospital being induced). That said the actual delivery was amazing. I had Jean and my partner there advocating for me and supporting my decisions - which made a massive difference. I had a epidural and the oxytocin drip. I had been pushing for a while and had made progress but the doctor felt i needed assistance and wanted to cut my perineum (which I had been blummin religiously massaging for the last month so no way was that happening and I felt I could keep pushing and do this). Jean agreed and absolutely supported my decision, had she not been there backing me up I might have caved or the doctor may have ignored me. I also think it gave the midwife at the hospital the confidence to also be supportive. In the end 20 mins later out can my lovely boy, just a slight bruise for me and nothing else!!
