I planned one with my first but unfortunately went into hospital in the end, I would love to try again this time round however I’m not in much of a position to unfortunately! Definitely some things to consider is how far away your nearest hospital is, if you would like a birthing pool, sometimes your midwives will have one and you supply the liners or you can rent one! If you’d like to hear my experience let me know, although mine did not go to plan it’s important to take that in to consideration too! X

3rd baby hoping for my first home birth. It was strongly recommended by the midwife as my 2nd was a quick labour

I'm also planning a homebirth and have done a lot of research. This is my first baby. There are quite limited facilities in my area for anything other than a hospital birth so feel this will be the best option for me to feel comfortable, safe & hopefully to achieve a water birth. I also live very close to the hospital if a transfer was needed. Happy to chat!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
