Yes! Had one with my first which was great! and now for this pregnancy! Hoping it goes smoothly 🤞🎉🥰

I had one with my 4th was suppose to with my 5th but short staffed last minute so fingers crossed for my 6th x

I am! I had one last time and was amazing, I'm hoping fingers crossed I can this time also. It was amazing!

@Sarah jane I have requested a home birth, hoping it goes ahead! If you don’t mind, can I ask were you just told once you went into labour that they were short staffed? Or how was it dealt with? Asking because I’ve had concerns that there seems a high chance that could happen with the home birth midwife team I am with. They have already mentioned that they are always so busy and that the home birth team often get called out to the labour ward at the hospital to cover. 😬x

I rang them and told them I lost my mucus plug and was having mild contractions didn’t need them yet then few hours later I rang again and said they were every 4 minutes apart they said just ring us when u need us there free and i sat in bed for a bit lost a eye lash stood up and put them back on and realised I had a few contractions in space of a few minutes rang them and 2 busy I had no one to have kids or anything had to go Leicester general x

@Sarah jane Thank you for sharing the details. Gosh can imagine that must have been quite hectic last minute! Fingers crossed for you this time, hoping we all get our home births :) x
