I'm friends with a lot of medics but I don't know any that have chosen to have their children at home.


thats because they are in the profession - its a second home to them.

We had our baby at home in delightful Perry Vale, and it was a great experience - please do consider it, crazycomet. I know it is a bit of a right-on cliche, but having a baby is a natural experience, it's not a medical issue. You get undivided attention from fantastic community midwives who stay with you and just you throughout your labour - they arent helping several women at the same time, etc. You are in familiar surroundings with everything you need. you dont have to worry about getting to hospital (have you tried parking near a hospital?), and statistically home births are safer.
In the unlikely event that there are complications, the local hospitals are very nearby.

My partner is fast asleep in bed now, with our next baby due in April, but I am sure she would be happy to talk to you about her experience of it all. feel free to send a PM.

Anyway, lecture over. Good luck with the baby! Smile check out the other thread in the SE23 bit about a parents to be meet up (drink-up?) on 22 March.
