Thanks for your reply .
lol - I did begin to wonder if I stayed at home as long as I could, there would probably be no point going to the hospital.
I want to keep my option open of homebirthing or hospital because of fear. Fear of things going wrong and fear of what I can cope with ( though I dont know if going to hospital will be able to offer me much relief anyway if its a vbac?) Also my house (which is rented) has a very thin wall between us the neighbour!!!
We do not have much in the way of support here either, but I guess thats alot of why we are looking at getting a doula. But I suppose I feel a hospital can offer help in that way - yet in reality, when I think back to my DS and being in hospital, I transfered to a birth unit the next day as I didnt want to be put in a shared room with other peoples babies crying and their visitors etc. Then I went home after 1.5 days at the birth unit cause I didnt like it and felt a lack of support considering my c.sect.
I`m finding it a bit to get my head around how it all works here. It fustrates me that things are not as simple as they are in NZ.
