Home birth for me!
Hello Everyone
I am so chuffed! Thanks Anne for your advice recently. It seems my hospital has changed it's policy and I can now have my antibiotics given at home, rathr than in hospital. They can also do it intra-muscular rather than in a vein, which is great cos it took them forever to get it in before. So all this means that I can have the home birth I had been thinking about. I spoke to my new midwife and she was chuffed that I am having a hb and is really supportive and informative. So that makes me feel much better about it all. Df was happy to go with it once I'd chucked a few statistics at him. So it's all go!! I'm pretty sure if I hadn't been reading all the good stuff on here about hb's I might not even have considered it - so thanks everyone and wish us luck! Oh, and the 12 wk scan was all fine and dandy too. Cheers Jeni |

great news!
did you ask last time? or was it just not mentioned? I know a friend who had a baby May 2004 who did eventually decide on a hospital birth, but needing antibiotics wasn't a problem then when she was thinking of a homebirth. Cheers Anne |

I was told that it would have to be in hospital last time, not that I was planning a hb that time anyway. You have to remember that there are so many midwives at the Rosie, that not everyone is going to know the policy for everything single thing, there are some community midwives who have very very few clients having a homebirth and others who have very high rates, there's one who serves some of the southern villages who has about 12% homebirths and breastfeeding rates at 1 month in the high 90s. As far as I know there hasn't been a policy change one way or the other, but that's not really an issue, when it comes to the crunch if a women demands a homebirth, they pretty much have to provides staff for it (look at homebirth.org.uk for more info), though they can then not provide treatment, so they could say well, if you choose to be at home, you're also choosing not to have antibiotics, problem is, if anything then did happen the likely outcome in any kind of inquiry would be that they should have provided antibiotics at home, so they will give them. Thankfully in this area there is a bit of a precedent for this and several women have had antibiotics at home, whereas in other areas a lot of women fighting for that opportunity are the first one.
