I don't think there's anything wrong with choosing to have a home birth, but there is also not anything wrong with choosing to have a birth in a hospital either. I would have appreciated if you made that distinction. I understand that in some ways women are judged for having a home birth, but judging the hospital as an unsafe environment is also wrong. All of my siblings were birthed at a hospital, and my mother always had a wonderful experience. It totally depends on how much homework you do when picking a physician. My mom is stil close friend with both the nurses and phsyicians. Actually, I needed immediate medical attention as I swallowed amniotic fluid during the birth, without immediate medical assistance, and being in an incubator for the next two weeks, I wouldn't have lived. I see POSITIVES and negatives to both ideas. Maybe just show that more next time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817927658778157749.post-743484940058624752011-10-23T05:36:47.438-07:002011-10-23T05:36:47.438-07:00Just found your site looking for recipes, but I al...Just found your site looking for recipes, but I also wanted to thank you for sharing your story. I really wanted to do a home birth with my last child, but I was VBAC. Even though the risk of uterine rupture was small, it's 45 minutes to the hospital so if it had happened I would be dead, and my husband just wasn't comfortable with the risk. I had both my sons with no pain meds, but my first (with a CNM in a hosptial) was much better than my second (OB in different hospital). They took my baby away to the nursery and wouldn't bring him back! They kept telling me to rest but I just sat there fretting until they brought him.

I adored my dr and the nursing staff at the hospital we chose, and we did decide to have our subsequent babies in the hospital, too. <br /><br />But I want women to have options--especially because many women's hospital and doctor options are NOT good. And I am so grateful to women like you, who did give birth at home, for sharing their stories with us! <br /><br />(Beautiful babies, by the way!)Anne @ Modern Mrs Darcyhttp://modernmrsdarcy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817927658778157749.post-43543190427772678902011-07-03T09:13:58.807-07:002011-07-03T09:13:58.807-07:00Hi!

They were all very different experiences but each of them was liberating. Each one freed me of the guilt I harboured from the birth of my oldest. I love reading other homebirth stories...thanks for sharing! :)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904415402488755877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817927658778157749.post-11492902695114359542011-07-01T21:12:28.680-07:002011-07-01T21:12:28.680-07:00Hi jillypumpkin!

It breaks my heart that so many women are treated so poorly during birth when we are most vulnerable. <br /><br />What helped me get through the pain was trying not to fight against it but to instead work with my body and embrace the pain because it meant my baby was coming! Usually in life pain means something is wrong so we naturally fear it but its important to remember that pain in labor is normal and just your body getting the baby out. <br /><br />I know, easier said than done! But you may find an inner strength you didn't know you had. One thing about being at home- It's not as easy to just give into the epidural when your feeling weak so your sorta stuck with having to make it through and you do it.<br /><br />As far as your son needing medical attention right away that is something you would want to discuss with your midwife but in most cases you can transfer pretty quickly to the hospital if the need arises. And the midwife is skilled in a lot of emergency situations and will bring medical equipment. <br /><br />Good luck!<br />-KaraKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695767904195435752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817927658778157749.post-18034053522403284862011-07-01T20:31:17.325-07:002011-07-01T20:31:17.325-07:00I saw your comment on The Healthy Skeptic and I ca...I saw your comment on The Healthy Skeptic and I came right over. you're inspiring me...I've been thinking about having my next baby at home. how did you handle the pain? with my son the epidural fell out, my dr was horribly rude, and when the nurses told my birth coaches to HOLD My legs DOWN...yeah, that was the last straw - and that wasn't fun..<br /><br />i want it at home and peaceful so bad...but i'm so afraid, lol..especially since my son was born sick - he needed medical care right away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817927658778157749.post-20831471058179021092011-07-01T20:04:32.701-07:002011-07-01T20:04:32.701-07:00Thanks for sharing your stories!
