EMMA PEARCE, 29, runs a baby and maternity clothing company called Butterfly Babies, and is mum to daughter Tiegan, six, and son Cadan, three. Both her children were born at home in Roath, Cardiff.
“With my eldest, home birth was something that was suggested to me on an online forum as my husband doesn’t like hospitals. I used the internet a lot for research before I mentioned it to my midwife, who was very supportive and encouraged me to try it. As I only live about five or 10 minutes from the University Hospital of Wales she reassured me that if I did have to transfer in it would be simple.
