Thank you sweetie. Yeah expect the worst, be surprised when it doesnt happen! Ah, pessimism! ;)
Yes, i am determined not to be bullied or terrorised this time.
That said, when pregnant i go from 0 to worrywart faster than the speed of light, heh. Its difficult. I think if i had someone who knew a lot about birthing, but was impartial and disconnected from the case emotionally, to explain the medical hype vs what will happen if i do nothing, or whatever, then i will be able to keep my head a little bit easier and not completely freak out if they say i'm going to give birth to the elephant man/woman, kwim?
i think its well worth the £400 the lady will cost me. Yes.

I think so.
Not that I have direct personal experience, but it seems to me that hsving a baby is a MASSIVE thing to deal with and it can only help to have someone go through it with you who can give support and advice.
You're right there - you can die, the baby can die, both of you can die.
As its your life AND the baby's, and there's nothing out there that causes stronger guilt than anything at all to do with your child/children/baby right down to the choices you make and repercussions thereof, then i think having someone talk turkey with me without getting as emotional as i will no doubt be, can only be a good thing.
Bingo - that's why its on my mind. Good Hope, now part of the Heart of England trust, is in the worst category, and not for the first year running either - I've seen ratings back to 06 and they are the same.
Local hospital sucks ass according to the ratings. I'd love to see them broken down, like they are on this website: http://www.birthchoiceuk.com/BirthChoiceUKFrame.htm?http://www.birthchoiceuk.com/Tables/TableC_WM.htm Good Hope is where goober was born at, its like 2 miles from here.

Anyway, I definitely think it would be £400 well spent!
