I loved LOVED my home birth. I went into labour at 445 am. It mostly felt like back and poop pains that came and went. Finally at 6 I called the midwife and at 7 she showed up. By then the back pain was pretty bad but that's about all it was. She checked me and I was a 6 but she could stretch me to 8. She went upstairs to get some stuff and I started pushing! lol. Fully dilated in 2 hours. I pushed for an hour 15. That part was the worst. But at least I could feel what I was doing. I was just scared to push because it made it hurt more. Next time I'm just gonna give'r lol.
To prepare for it I bought a bunch of things my midwife told me to. But she provided most of the stuff.
What I'd do differently, next time I want to try the breast crawl, letting baby crawl his way to the nipple to nurse on his own.
