We had planned a home birth as well with Midwives here in Calgary but all did not go well. Jo's water broke early and we too were made to go to the hospital. So don't worry (make sure you talk to your midwives like I am sure that they will do) but sometimes that happens, and we had a wonderful experience. The midwives took over the room and we did not have to talk to a doctor until 20 min after Phoenix was born. (we had other issues to face as i will get into later) <br /><br />With our birthing plan and our midwives the hospital only provided a room for us and that is all. Other than that Jo was able to move around the room go into and out of the tub and bathroom and frankly the hospital was better equipt. with the bathroom area then our house room.<br /><br />(look into special birth rooms in edmonton a couple that we did a pre birthing class with said they did it in one)<br /><br />You should take a class there is no one in edmonton that does one I don't think at least not last year, that we could find but it helped me out a lot about what my role and how important it was (it really was) with giving different massages to help with the pain and counter pressure (this will be your new best friend) <br /><br />Advice my midwives gave to Jo (cause she was freaked about the hospital too) was ; Hosp: you need this done You or your partner; is it gonna kill her/me or the baby if I don't do this Hosp: no You: then don't do it.!!!<br /><br />BTW you don't need ANTIBIOTICS unless you actually have an STD (this is the eye drops for your baby) and I recommend that you don't do this <br /><br />Make sure you always do what is comfortable for you (I am really not telling you what to do just telling you what worked for us)<br /><br />Another thing I would suggest is pre booking your midwives appointments cause ours got booked really fast and our first three appointments we had to take times that were left, after that we booked all of them in advance and we got all the times we wanted. It helped with booking other needed appointments around these as needed.<br /><br />Wow congrats, I hope you don't mind me poking in from time to time with my comments and suggestions Make Chris get involved more...and remember that your one of the coolest people that I have ever met and that sometimes things don't got the way we want but it all works out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631525683957532393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624622661135312170.post-70285474687717342292011-03-27T15:36:49.506-07:002011-03-27T15:36:49.506-07:00I would love to read it, Shannon
