Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. FTM, and I just decided that I want to do a med-free birth (as I had to start thinking about a birth plan). At 32 weeks I'm having a major "Oh crap!" moment as I feel time has snuck up on me. I've been lurking here for a week or so, really enjoying the good info so far, thanks.

So far I've ordered the Hypnobabies home course (should arrive by Monday) and that's about it. I will be delivering at a hospital but would like to labor at home for as long as I can (not sure how you know it's time to leave though!), and my OB is fine with me going med-free. I don't know if my hospital has birthing tubs or how flexible they are, will find that out soon when I do my tour in 2 weeks.

Any advice / pointers / resources greatly appreciated!
