Have been umming and ahhing about it all for a while, I'm a fairly private person (as in not liking people in my house or holding my kids, whatever) but I realise that Jamie only has 2 hands and is only 1 man, so when it comes to the time for it all to happen we might need at least one more pair of hands on deck.
I won't be shipping the boys off anywhere so I thought it would be handy especially to have someone to give them some undivided attention if need be, or to at least get them out of the birth pool,
So....as cool as it would be to have say....Carla as a support person, that ain't gonna happen
(damn you for living miles away!!!)There is one person I know reasonably well, that I trust, would let look after my kids, etc and is the closest to being a hippy of all the people I know, hehehe, so last night I finally got the guts up to quiz Sharon, aka Shaz, aka Aunty Sharon....my step mum's besty.
She passed the test, lol
- not afraid of homebirth,
- doesn't think they are dangerous,
- has had babies before (and the first was a pretty shitty birth, followed by a 'good' birth, lol, makes me feel better anyway!)
- and has been present at other womens labours before.
- And to top it off, she said with a grin that she would be privileged to be my support person, yay!
Now just for that immaculate conception!
