Violets Baby in Corrie

[Caribeing]

Violet says she wants a home birth, but wouldn't the midwife, doctor be monitoring her home births aren't just straightforward, I haven't seen a midwife visit her yet to check things out. On the most recent episode of Corrie she arrived at the Rovers and apologised to Steve for being late for work, shouldn't she be resting! I used to enjoy Corrie as it was quite "realistic" now it is a bit far fetched, babies switched at birth etc

a lot of expectant mothers work for as long as they can so i cant see anything wrong in violet still being at work even though she has another 4 weeks before the due date

If she's having a homebirth she will be considered low risk, you don't get bothered by midwives much then. There's no need, she's not ill!
My homebirth was fabulous, I just got in with it. Midwife sat and drank tea, when I got down to it she caught him, cleared up, ran me a bath, made tea and off she popped. Nothing complicated about it. Doctors don't come into to it.

resting? I worked up until i went in hopsital to be induced at 42 weeks (2 weeks overdue). With this one i shall work until i go into labour as well, Im not ill, just a bit of a slow mover lol

In the last few weeks gestation she may see a midwife once a week, but do you really think that corrie will get an actor in to play that part?
