Just wanted to join in the DIS Homebirth big hug group too.  Chas, your story and pics are fab!  Can't wait to join you on the home delivery very soon.  Labour vibes to all!

You pair have just made me cry!!

I know what you're both talking about, though. Sometimes I felt a little wobbly and would just read the stories, etc.

I just can't believe he's here and everything is fine. I'm so happy!

Aww i think chas's photos and story is bringing out a group hug in all of us lol.

i feel the same hun i come on here especially when i am feel aprehensive about having a hb (even though i had a wonderful hb with my 3rd) its only natural to be anxious about things going right and when i get those negative thoughts i only have to come on here and am immediately picked up by everyones positive stories and words of support.

happy due date for saturday and i look forward to ready a fantastic birth story from you

Hi. I haven't really posted much this pregnancy. In DIS and sometimes have something to say and sometimes in Older mums to be. Just wanted to say thank you to all the home birth mums and their stories. I didn't exactly have a terrible time with ds born in March06 in hospital but this time just wanted much more control. Have always wanted a home birth since the beginning. Everyone's stories have just continuously reminded me that I am making the right decision and I am now quite excited as due date approaches (Saturday!). Even those where it didn't quite work out have been positive because of the intentions in wanting the home birth (if this makes sense?).

Anyway, I'm rambling, hormonal & especially emotional (Chas's photos and story (thanks!)). Thanks to all - emma. x
