I had my 2 boys at home and I would not have changed it for the world. Both were through Oakwood, who were just amazing. My first was 3 weeks early and weighed 6lb4oz and my second was bang on date and weighed 7lbs 4oz. My first was around a 6 hour labour and my second was aroungd 20 minutes! For my first I had my midwife with me and he was born in the bedroom and for my second, well, my next door neighbour delivered him (she is a swimming teacher btw) as it all happened soooooooo fast! And still I would not have changed anything for the world. I agree with Polly, you do what is right for you and your personal reasons, for me, I wanted to have a cup of tea in a bone china cup after the birth! I did not think I would get that in hospital. As long as you are relaxed and happy thats all that matters. You do what is right for you Good luck Sue
