I've only given birth in a hospital, so I have nothing to compair it to, but I have always felt comfortable and safe. When this baby comes in July I'll have her in the hospital also. I do enjoy having family and friends there with me while I'm laboring.

i gave birth to william in a hospital. didnt really think otherwise about it. this time, i'm going to give birth in the hospital again because i was relaxed last time round and i was safe to know that i had help just in case i needed it.
my friends sister has had a hospital birth and home birth and prefers the home birth because she says she was more relaxed. shes having a water birth this time round.
i would rather a home birth but i know bobby would freak out too much and well both be more relaxed in hospital

i gave birth in a hospital!! i live near a fairly small country town so there arnt as many babies born there so you are able to stay for as long as you feel you need too. I stayed for 4 days.

I would never have a home birth or in a birthing centre to me that is too risky. I guess it all depends on if you want pain releif or not!! i didnt want to of course but ended up going for the gas. It was just nice to know that it was available.

The nurses were amazing....dont think i could have done it without them couching me through and at night after she was born they would take care of her and when it was time for a feed they would wake me up and take her again when she was done.
