Home birthing
peoples reactions to this word differ;
some say i must be brae, some say its awesome, some say what are hospitals for?! Some just look at me as if im crazy, some just see it as being outright irresponsible,
So i thought i would attempt to defend myself in this.
Yes we plan to hae our Baby at home, but this doesn't mean we arn't going to transfer if something looks like it might go wrong (our midwife wouldn't let us stay at home anyway).
I don't want to hae synthetic medication/pain killers so easily on hand (an easy option). This doesn't mean we arn't going to hae systems in place for easing discomfort, we're haing a birthing pool, massage, hot and cold compresses etc.
I want to gie birth in an eniroment where i feel comforable, able to relax and let my body do what it does. Home is the obious place for that. Surrounded by familiar sounds, smells, my own things, colours, good food. Things and people that i know and loe.
I want Daid to feel like he's a part of it during and after the birth. A bigger bed means he doesn't hae to go home at night or be a isitor. We can spend the first few days/hours together.
A nice eniroment for friends and family to isit after the little person is here. They can hang out on couches fix themseles cups of tea , bake biscuits, etc with no scary hospital lifts and coridors.
Yet the option is always there for the bedroom door to be closed and for mamma/baby rest time.
To me haing this little person at home is commonsence. To quote: "giing birth is not an illness"
Anyway there you hae a few of my thoughts splattered onto your screens. There are more and i could go into it in some great debth but hey its mainly a bunch of daids guy friends that read this blog and ill be surprirsed weather any of them would hae got this far. I should be posting about computor games or chicken dancing or computor problems at work or the cost of beer and cigarettes.
My posts do seem highly unapproprate considering the audience sometimes.
Guess what letter isn't working on our keyboard??HeHE
