Home Birth (in Scotland)

Hi, ladies -
For future reference, I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has about having a homebirth. I tried twice - first time I was unsuccessful, second time it worked like a charm. Both times I received stellar service from NHS Scotland. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
Kind regards,
Eliza

Eliza - glad to hear about your stellar service.  I planned a homebirth with little man in 2012, and am now planning homebirth for #2...

Congrats on both the birth and doing it at home. I love that increasing numbers of women are taking (what should be) a very natural process back into their own hands. If I were doing it again, I would want one too. Well done to both of you.

Thanks, meggles and Courtney. My second birth COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE DIFFERENT than my first, so much easier and totally suited to homebirth. So if you're at all worried about giving birth again, I offer you that glimmer of hope. 
The hospital is always there if you need/want it, as experienced in my first when it hurt like F but I wasn't progressing. But I agree, birth can be seriously overmedicalised and when it works 'like it's supposed to' there's no real reason to go to hospital.
Just my thoughts!

Awesome!
Congrats!
