Great to hear other's stories. Still seems amazing that we get ourselves into these positions without "thinking it through", and aren't we supposed to be an intelligent life form? Always recall the time when my missus was pregnant with no.2 and I went on red alert wondering, how the bloomers are we going to do childcare with two? Had many hectic , stressful months before that was sorted. Same with the question you ask, Ruth. Only we thought about that one a little more in time and so, despite no1 being a CS we had a planned Water birth at home for no.2 - That's the looking after no.1 sorted on that question. He was around as Mrs Citizen went into labour and then I got to put him to bed, promising that, in the morning, he'd have a little sibling. No.2 was born around 5.30am and it will always be a lasting memory for me that No.1 woke at around 5.45 and I was able to carry him downstaris and instroduce him to the baby so soon after the little brother was born. Ahh!
