Do we have anyone on the boards who has had a home birth?

I've had two hospital births and two home births - one was a water birth.

Anyone else??? (And just so you know, this wasn't meant to spark a debate or anything - I'm just curious.

)

Not at home, but I used a birthing center and midwife for the births of Luke and Brooke.

Three of our LDR's are equipped for tub births and we do about 1 per week, sometimes more in the summer.

Maybe that'll be my job when I retire to Disney.....become a midwife and just do home births..........

Nope, 2 hospital births for me. One emergency c-section and one v-bac.

2 Hospital births for me. Too nervous to do a home birth.

To those that have had the water births, how was it?? Ive never known anyone that had one and was curious.

4 hospital births.
But my Dad and his siblings were all born at home. Most babies were wherehe lived.

I wish, mainly due to a traumatizing hospital experience. I've learned a lot since then!

My co-worker just had a home birth with a midwife in November.

OMG, I WISH! I'm a carrier of group B strep so no homebirthing for me.

Hospital births for me but then I had mine in the 80s and that was the norm.......

DD was born in the hospital because of a c-section but I would be TERRIFIED
to have a home birth. I don't do pain!!!!! Loved the hospital we were in and
according to my DH I should love them since it was like being in a hotel!

Kudos to those who've had a home birth.

Nope - three hospital births.
2 were emergency C-sections, both were the only things that saved my kids' lives.

GoofyMom · 01-17-2009, 11:54 AM

Thank goodness mine were both hospital births (I didn't get pain meds though

would've been nice!) The complications that happened during their births and afterwards were enough to have killed at least one of us both times I delivered.

In fact, my kids were born back in the days when it was still common to stay in the hospital for up to a week after and we still were in the hospital for 9 days after DS's birth and 13 days after DD's birth. And that's why we only have 2 children....

Mine was absolutely fabulous. In fact, baby #4 was suppose to be a water birth too - but she arrived before the pool was filled.

If you can imagine how relaxing it is to take a shower or soak in a tub when you are not feeling well or stressed, you can imagine how wonderful it feels to be immersed in a calming pool of water during labor.
