Home water birth

[Samsmum]

So many reasons for home birth there Hun, you go for it! It's also incredibly empowering (I don't say it much but I felt I could take on the world after my home birth!) you are much less likely to tear in a second labour because you've already stretched that area, also in a water birth you're always less likely to tear because your skin is so much softer having been in the water for a while take it easy and you'll find you'll have far less problems with a water birth xx

I didn't tear with my first at all x sure it stung to pee for a while but I used to fill the bath a few inches after every pee so it was there waiting for me when I needed to pee next time, I'd climb in, then wee in the water and there wasn't any pain - good tip for anyone!

im high risk cos of the placenta thing once its happened they class u as high risk i almost died and i have had 6 labours so this is also high risk for heamoraging (sp) high risk cos of age and also cos i had work on m cervix for precancerous cells , i think i would feel a lot safer in hospital with my previous complications xx
