also i have Group B strep infection and had that in my last pregnancy to, when i was in labour they just gave me a drip in my hand for a short time. but can the midwife give that at home?

have you spoken to your midwife about having a home birth with strep B? i cant see that they will be happy about giving you a drip at home. normally homebirths are only available for uncomplicated deliveries and strep is a kind of complication.

Its very unlikely you'll be given the drip at home, and you need to have the drip. Definitely speak to your midwife.

my midwife said that she was not sure how they do it all now? and that is confusing me a bit, i really want to know as i really want a homebirth.
she said that we will talk about it at my next app. ???

I plan on having a homebirth too and I am booked onto a hypnobirthing course. I have read the book already.

hi everyone i had a test done the other week and im clear of group B strep this time so i can have my home birth its all getting a bit more real now, im due in under two weeks, really dont know were time has gone.

Good luck Jacksmother. I'm planning on home birth using the hypnobirthing. It looks amazing and me and my partner are really in to it. I think if its something you feel strongly about and you are low risk then there is no reason why you cant have a relaxing a stress free homebirth. Good luck everyone :)

Hi Jacksmother.
Just thought id say that we have hired a private midwife to go through the hypnobirthing process with us. we had our first of 5 three hour sessions on Wednesday. it went really well. I'm only 23 weeks at the minute but wanted to start early to give myself plenty of time to get in to the right mindset. The cd is great and i'm currently working my way through the book. I love the basic pricipal of beliving in your body and going in to pregnancy without fear or tension. Good luck xx
