Hi all!

My name is Meg, I have a 7.5 year old daughter and am pregnant with my next child atm. My daughter and I live in a blended family and I have been with my "new" partner for nearly 5 years.

I am planning to have a homebirth with my new baby (temporarily called Spike) as I hope to achieve a natural birth. Spike is due on my elder daughters b'day but somehow I don't think I'll be meeting him/her until a week or so later

I formula fed my first baby and I hope to breast feed the next one!

Lovely to be here, hope to get to know you all soon!
