    it semms everyone is going for a hospital birth, i def want a home birth is anyone else having home birth????i hate hospitals the thought of them sends me in a panic and all my family is really starting to annoy me by going on that i should go to hospital!!! the midwife said fine to a home birth.

    Also i'm thinking of getting a tens machine for my bad back are thses any good???

    Hi miss_c

    I had a home birth just under 3 weeks ago, it was a great experience. I think if you are scared of hospital, you are more likely to be stressed during labour. Please don't let people scare you out of a home birth if it's your choice, the midwives are well trained and if there is any reason for concern they can usually recognise it at an early stage and transfer you into hospital if that's where you need to be.

    Polly, this website will tell you about what facilities they provide, I looked up mine and it was a touch out of date though (as in they've recently stopped providing ante-natal classes). Also don't always take bad reviews to heart people generally will only speak out about something if they had a negative experience so they're not necessarily an accurate picture of what it's like.

    Wow, that website is fantabulous! Very helpful. Not completely accurate, but very helpful all the same. For Watford, it says there are two scans, 12 weeks and 20 weeks, but I never got a 12 week one!

    There's a birthing centre there. Maybe when I next see the midwife next Wed, I'll ask her if it's likely I'll be in there or in the hospital.

    On a separate point, my feet have suddenly ballooned, they look really strange!!!

    No , can't say I was anxious as she had a really straightforward pregnancy. She didn't stop smoking straight away though which I didn't like , but she stopped after a few weeks. Silly mare's started again now though :rolleyes:

  • Hiya all, i've not been on much (been so, so tired and in bed snoozing by 8.30pm most nights!!) Just thought i'd let you know we had a scan today....our little yannis (concieved in greece hence the nickname) is 9.33mm and its heart was beating away. Yolk sac etc in the right place and all looking good-i actually feel like i can relax now. My dates are still the same at the mo so im 7+2 just waiting for the 12 weeks scan now.xx
