I had a homebirth in November and it was absolutely incredible- I hired a pool and had baby girl with 2 midwives and my partner to support me. I would recommend it a million percent and honestly wish I could do it all again x
I gave birth in blue bells in the birthing suit in Harlow Room was massive had a double bed and a birthing tub and a single bed in the room Lovely room x
If youâre set on a water birth Iâd try for a home birth. The birthing suite is often closed due to staffing issues and there is currently no birthing pool on the labour ward so itâs really pot luck wether youâd get your water birth x
I had a homebirth last march and it was the most incredible experience. I can't imagine ever giving birth in hospital again and in gutted I didn't have my first at home. Stephanie the home birth lead is incredible and the midwives I had at my birth were amazing. I can recommend someone locally who hires out a pool for homebirths (she's an independent midwife) I believe she just changes for the consumables kit which is around ÂŁ75 I think. The hospital actually have a homebirth talk coming up incase u haven't seen where they give u all the info u need x
I spoke to them about this and it all depends on whether they wasn't already being used đ˘
