First midwife appointment and very pleased

had first appointment today and have to say i really like her..i just hope to god i get to keep her at least if not all the way through. Told her i wanted a home birth, she was supportive but doubtful weather the consultant whould let me after having a previous section with my first son, she said this is because of scar tissue rupture , but i had no qualms 2.5 years ago when i had my son and consultant was pleased with how well it had healed but homebirth is clearly marked on my notes..so fingers crossed. She also asked me if i was going to bf again and then proceded to tell me all the benefits of bf , even though i obviously already know, she said this is a new policy and there had been other changes (she seemed very pro breast feeding) the first change since having my youngest is the local hospital has decided not to give out formula and has employed breast feeding councilers instead to encourage bf, (i think we cureently have the lowest rate in bf here) but if you choose to formula feed you can bring your own in, i think this is a great start, if the formula is not so readily available maybe people will at least try bf . Ive never understood really when people say "im not going to breast feed it's not for me"..how do you know if you have never tried it? Its as simple as saying" i don't like thai food even though i haven't had it  so i won't eat it " although obviously breast feeding as much more health benefits than thai food.(much as i love thai..im not sure it could help protect me against breast cancer for example). Also the best the very best bit for me is they are employing breast feeding councilers to run along side midwifes, the councilers will come to your house a couple of times after you give birth, and are only a phone call away..we had nothing like this when i had both my sons, we had le leache which only run once a month and never answered your calls..or if they got back to you it was 3 days later..not great when your on the point of jacking it all in! Anyway im feeling positive i might actually get the help i want if i want it now..and this will be my 3rd time at it, so im thrilled for first timers, if we can crack it correctly for first timers they may hopefully pass on positive experiences to other first timers , rather than someone whos tried it and passed on bad experiences. Yay one happy bunny here!
