Details on Giving Birth at the Farm

[NancyPark]

Hi all,

We are planning to have our second child at the Farm in early May.

I have a bunch of questions and would love to hear about anyone's personal experiences.

We currently live in New York but are making our way to California and will be having our baby on the way in Tennessee.

My questions are being answered by Stacie, my midwife there, but I would appreciate other perspectives/experiences:

How did you find your accommodations at the Farm? How soon before your EDD did you arrive, and how long did you stay post partum?

How was your newborn care handled?

What were the things you found important to bring with you? What do you wish you had brought?

Were there any unanticipated costs associated with the birth? I am planning on the midwife fee $4500, cabin rental $1200/month, newborn care, food expense...

What was your experience like overall? Is there anything you feel could have made you more prepared? What things did you worry about that you realized were unnecessary concerns?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Love,

Nancy
