Wednesday, June 16, 2004 Really Blessed with Friendship I have been trying to figure out how I can convince my husband to go ahead with homebirth, because we live about 20 to 30 minutes (depending on traffic) away from the hospital, and I completely understand his fear of "what if" and not being able to get to the hospital in time. Today, at our little playgroup meet-up, one of my close mom-friends offered for us to come to her house and have a homebirth there!! She lives within 5 minutes of the hospital. AND an acquaintance of mine, and good friend of hers, has had a previous homebirth and has offered to come for support, if that is what we choose to do! I am really excited with this prospect, as I was thinking I would have to just accept that we'd have to consider a hospital birth (because of how uncomfortable my DH is with the "what if" factor). AND this friend would be able to help entertain my son with her own son, during the whole thing! I'm just feeling so blessed with the friends I have, who are so willing to support my decisions! ------------------------------------------------
