86. one, you know, it's very well saying I'd like that, one doesn't know 27. which areas, a lot °fa reas I think you can't go to ? 28. and he straightaway said. Yes we can, (midwife si,cp-port) 89. well was it a first baby, had I had problems and obviously made a 90. judgement on what I had told her initially which is when she said 91. yes you can have home delivery, ifthat's the choice that you want, _92. so I think we were both very relieved that we thought we could, 53. at least have that choice, (allowed to choose) 94. but you know, I did, I must admit I suppose about three months, 95. Am I doing the right thing? Should I go into hospital where, 96. you know, but the last time we went to [hospital] it was such a 97. shambles that I did know we'd made the right decision (laughing), its still what we're doing. Urnm, I know they're busy, so are we, 99. you know we've gOt a business to run and sitting in a hospital For 100. three hours and having no answer whatsoever for the reason we 101. came For seems totally a waste oftime, (kosTAtal, bits& 102. I mean as I say we definitely know we're definitely having the baby 103. at home, so. 104. Now, when you compare the kind ofcate you had with your first baby and the care you are having now, what can you say? 105. I wouldn't say it was an awful lot different, probably when I had 106. my First baby I was at the clinic a lot more, probably because I went 107. to classes, did all the breathing things, and all the sort of ante-natal 108. things, where as we haven't done this time, because Pat sort of said 109. she didn't Feel the need rot them, then, unfortunately, because we 110. run our own business we haven't sort or had the time, and I can't 111. say they were terribly useful. limm, the first time round. How were they not useful? 233
112. Well I didn't Feel, you are told that everything's going 113. to be so simple and So easy, (withhoLcito-g ifrtforvvotiovt) 114. umm, it is so different in that situation and I don't think they give 115. you the full picture, I think they paint a nice little rosey sort or 116. picture over it. Umm, again I mean I had a situation where, umm, 117. the cervix didn't open correctly, so I had, I don't know the special 118. word for it, so I was in labour a lot longer than I should have been, 119. but you know, nobody tells you of these like things, I don't know I 120. just think, you're not told it's a picnic, but I think you are given 121. different picture to how it actually is, I don't know, I'm waffling 122. now! Laughing, I just didn't I don't know, I just aFterwards I 123. thought i don't know why I spent all those times going to 124. those classes because it was nothing like what they told to 125. practice, you get laid on the floor, and your supposed to think 126. of a Nursery Rhyme and I couldn't do the breathing, I just 127. couldn't I Couldn't, I was just one of those people, I couldn't Sort 128. of out of the situation imagine sitting there 129. going phew, phew (breathing sounds) it just didn't work for me, 130. I just didn't sit there and do it. all I thought was the whole thing 131. was a total joke so, yes, For some people I am sure it's absolutely 132. wonderful and they think it's the best thing they ever did, but not 133. me. 134. Is there anything in particular, you don't like about the hospital? 135. UMM, its very difficult, I think because it is very clinical, (cLi.A.Locit.) 136. again because I had this hip thing, I had to have a monitor on the 137. whole time. so you couldn't even get out of bed, (restrEcteal wtovevutint, covttEtn.kotts wtotAltortin,e) 138. umm, even like afterwards, you know, i think their visiting hours 234
