I was privileged enough to have been supported by the homebirth team ayrshire and arran to bring my fourth baby into the world. Having had 3 hospital births I can feel the huge benefits of having a homebirth.
My daughter was born in the pool in a calm environment surrounded by my loved ones and is has been the most content baby I've had. The homebirth team were on hand to help me with breastfeeding which I've never done before and I am absolutely loving.
The difference in giving birth with minimum invasion really decreased my usual anxieties I was encouraged to trust my body and do what I felt was right.
Once I had gave birth I was on my own couch within 10 minutes feeding my baby and by the time my daughter was home from nursery she could meet he baby sister (my other daughter was with me through the birth).
This was the best decision I've made and has gave me the best start with my daughter.
