For Mommies and Mommies to be, what was/ is your plan for your delivery. For Mommies who already had their babies, were you happy with you choice? What do you wish you did or knew before hand?

Question

Answer

I've had 2 hospital births, 1 natural, 1 epidural. 
2 home births. 1 of which was a water birth. I've had 2.5 hour labor, 36 hrs, 44 hrs, and 5 days (that's the one where I eventually got the epidural) 
I am team home birth 10000% and our next (most likely last) will be a home birth. 
And I hated the epidural. Hated it. The one word it brings to mind is disgusting. It was a terrible disconnected feeling I hope to never experience again.

Answer

I would love to have a home birth, but due to the fact that I will be high risk, I can't. I'm hoping to be able to labor in the tub and do it all natural.

Answer

I had a hospital birth with a midwife. I got the epidural and it was my best friend lol. I didn't feel disconnected at all. I knew when I was contracting, i was able to push her out after 4 pushes, and I got up right after delivery without a problem.

Answer

I wanted a water birth at hospital with all of mine... and just gas and air...
Baby 1 - the pool was broke and I had diamorphine 
Baby 2 - I had my waters broke to kick start labour and so couldn't have a water birth and had diamorphine again.  
Baby 3 - I had to have my son at 25wks. So can't remember much of my labour. But naturally was in a grade 4 NICU hospital in a ICU labour room
