Is having a homebirth with a 3 yr old in your care, do-able or do they need someone watching them?

If all goes well, my son will be around 3 when his sibling shows up. I wanted a home birth with him but could because the hospital I chose was far out and then I ended up having a high risk pregnancy.

I am 4.7 months postpartum. Not breastfeeding. I had a period on the 5th Dec which was for my usual length- 7-8 days. However today 22nd dec, I see brown spotting- started my period again today??

I lost my appetite 5 days ago and had diaorriah. These are not my usual symptoms before i start a period. I usually get really big appetite before i get a period. Even spotting today, I still have no appetite and appetite would only come in the morning. I stopped breastfeeding 2 months postpartum.

East Surrey private rooms

Has anyone requested and used the private amenity beds at East Surrey? Particularly after c-section? After a horrible experience on Burstow Ward last time I’m hoping to try and get one of these rooms for my second but not sure how likely it is to get one, especially after C-section.
