When my husband and I were looking for a place to settle down, I found out that a state we were interested in didn’t allow midwife led births. It honestly was a deal breaker for us. Good for you for standing up for what would be best for YOUR family!

I lived in a place where licensed and certified midwives were illegal. Having my son at home was not comfortable at the time but conventional hospital birth was out of the question. For me, it was mainly about location and wanting a place to feel safe and loved. I was blasted as being too picky by both conventional medicine and especially, the natural birth community. Everyone is different and the needs of the family need to be honored. Thank you

Hubby Me baby and GOD! like they did for 1000s of yrs. was awesome! yup the back thing. I laid thru about 3 seconds of a contrition just to see what a friend felt like thru her ordeal in the H. came up off that bed so fast. I don’t think I have ever moved that fast. knees is where I wanted to be. pushing. you should never push until your body tells you. and it may not tell you to push. the kid will come out even if you faint. I pushed only when her head and body came thru because my body made me then. unhinderliving.com birth class to birth at home alone.

Agreed, it was probably the only comfortable thing about birth! 😉

I could have written most of it myself. I did not have another child to think about during my first labor (obviously), but we do have two dogs, one of whom was INCREDIBLY stressed out by me being in labor (and I wasn’t even being loud at that point!). After seeing how he reacted I know there’s no way I could give birth at home with him around. The birth center is truly the best of both worlds: no temptation for an epidural and you still get to go home and sleep in your own bed that night.
