Hi guys i am a bit down today, i am booked in for a home birth and i was supposed to be meeting my MW yesterday for my 34wk appointment sadly she had to cancel as someone went into labour so totally understandable anyway she rearranged for today but i really wanted DH to meet her so i asked if we could amke it friday but she said she was fully booked for the rest of the week so she could only make today, any way got another call that someone else has gone into labour and i have been cancelled again.

I know this cant be helped as this is the whole point of a home birth, that you get the same person for antenatal care and birth but i was sooo excited, about discussing things with her.

with this being my 2nd birth i havent had the same amount of antenatal appointments aparently you dont need them with the more children you have but i havent spoken to any professional about home births yet, i dont know which way my baby is lying cause everyone else just seems to brush me off saying i was too early i didnt need to know, and i just feel a bit left in limbo. i know i am all hormonal and emotional but my last appointment with anybody was at 28wks and if she was fully booked for this week, i wont see her until i am 35wks and i have so many questions.

plus DH had been turning down work for yesterday so he could meet her and he almost turned down work for today but i told him to go, i just feel more comfortable if hubby is there but i am not sure if he will be now.

this is a really pointless post but i just needed to say now i have been cancelled twice and i have no idea when my next appointment will be i am just feeling very very down!

thanks for reading no point responding just needed to get that out

Ah Twinkle, did not want to r and r. Thats really disappointing and understandable that you feel this way.

Really hope you get to meet her soon and get all your home birth plans sorted.
