In fairness although things took a bad turn in my last pregnancy if i had been being monitored it could have been spotted earlier (I went into hospital saying i was bleeding, someone had a look said it was a bloody show although i thought i was more than that and had been happening on and off for a day or so - i had gone in twice before then, but as i was in labor they kept me in, it all stopped and they tried to send me home a couple of hours later til i asked what about the bleeding, she got a bit grumpy and said let me look, then panicked and rang delivery and suddenly i was high risk, they broke my waters and me half an hour to get him out before they went in). In all the time i was the hospital i was only checked once, maybe if i'd been at home it would have been picked upon sooner - the hospitals always seem so short staffed by us which was one of the things i liked most about a home birth - proper one on one attention.
I'm hoping i'll get the same midwife i had last time, who was lovely and very supportive of home births, if i do its def a conversation i will have with her - thank you
Ps Doula what a lovely job - getting to share that miracle of watching a new little person come into the world, must be really rewarding
