Iv'e never had a home birth - and I don't
think I ever would.
I like to be nice and close to all that
nice medical equipment thanks :)
remember too that your choices for pain
relief are limited. For example you wont
be able to have an epidural at home.
Best of luck with it,
sandy

allie, you're a doing it health forum.
You ever heard of adoption (allie)
erin, I don't know anything about home
births, sorry, maybe try the pregnancy
forum---this ones been a little too
dramatic the past couple weeks..So getting
real advice is pretty well impossible.
Congrats on the bubs! Do you know what
you're having this time?!

I was planning on having a home birth,
things didnt work out I became high risk
and midwives referred me to an ob gyn so I
lost out. I had a fast labor with my
first and even faster with my second but
honestly if you can have a home birth do
it I would have loved too!! You are a
bit more relaxed at home and your the one
with more control as to in a hospital you
loose all your dignity!
They wont let you have a home birth if you
live far away, but nowadays you have more
choice and id rather be at home then in a
doing it hospital room!!!!
Good luck

I would have liked a homebirth but the
person I was living with at the time
wouldn't hear of it. So I had a hospital
birth which was awesome.

something to read but you should really
just google 'homebirth' becuase there's
more information out there than I can give
you in one post.

I am really interested in a home birth
too. But, .Medicade won't cover it...I
don't think. So i'm going to go drug -
free for this birth.
I know it's going to be hard but it's not
like it's impossible.
My family is very encouraging but my
ob/gyn is another story...He thinks that I
won't be able to do it. It's all about
proving myself and my woman hood to the
people who doubt me.
I know I won't get a trophy for no drugs,
but i'll know forever that I am capable.
Good luck with your decision and know that
you're not crazy for wanting an at home
birth!

Don't take this the wrong way, but you
people are nutso! Lol (seriously, that's
not me trying to be mean.)
i can't fathom trying to have a home
birth. I'm terrified as it is - maybe
because this is my first - but I couldn't
imagine not having access to drugs and/or
(god forbid) an operating table and
nicu.
No, i'm not trying to convince anyone of
anything, this is just my opinion.
I saw a lady do a home birth on tlc one
day. She had the baby without too much of
a problem, but she had to go to the
hospital afterward because she was losing
a lot of blood. She had basically her
entire family helping with the birth. I'm
sorry, but my brother (for instance) will
be nowhere near my uncovered hoo-hoo when
that baby comes out. I love him to
pieces, but geez. Lol.

Lol...I understand where you coming from
too with the operating room or nicu
(incase of a shoulder distocia..When the
shoulders get caught and the baby isn't
able to breathe)
this is my 1st child too and I know for a
fact that it'll be painful. My periods
hurt like hell! But I am literally more
terrified of a needle going into my spine,
than I am of intense cramping. Another
reason why I want to go drug free is
because I want to feel it. I want to know
exactly how difficult it really is to have
this human life physically come out of my
body. Plus...It'll probably prevent me
from wanting another baby anytime soon!!

They only tend to let you have a homebirth
if you are close enough to be transferred
to a hospital if need be, so there's
really not much danger. If you live way
out and nowhere near a hospital, you
aren't going to find many midwives or
ob/gyns who are willing to let you even
attempt a homebirth. :-)
you also have access to drugs. I believe
a midwife can administer an epidural or
fentanyl or other drugs. But most people
who are looking in to a homebirth plan to
have a natural birth so it's not much of a
consideration to them.

umm maybe she wants to have her kids
young. None of your business, and you
should talk....You party going little
slvt
anyway, I thought about home delivery, but
because of my emergancy c-section last
time I have to have a repeat one this time
and in case of rupture should I go into
labor I need to be near a hospital. I
haven't really put too much thought into
it since I found out that.

Have you heard of a vbac? (vaginal birth
after c-section)...They're not too common
because of the chance of rupture, but it
is possible. How long ago was the c -
section? Have you talked to your .Dr
about a vaginal birth or has he/she made
that decision in the best interest for you
and the baby?
I was just wondering these things because
I know someone who had a c - section and 3
years later had a vaginal birth.

hey sarah, yes I have heard of vbac, they
wanted me to try vbac however once they
reviewed my medical records and the
incision was a vertical incision into the
uterus and it has a 15% more chance of
rupture than a normal horizontal incision.
My doctor listened to my concerns on
delivering vagionaly, and she expressed
her concerns on the effect it could have
on the incision should I acctually start
contracting. I delivered hunter 2 years
ago on 04/15/04 and since he was so little
1.5 lbs the vertical incision was
nessisary for the safty of the baby.
(dont' ask me why I am not sure).
So my Dr. Stated that it would be in the
best intrest of me and the baby to have
another c-section before I acctually go
into labor. I will go along with what
she said...But she is the dr now isn't
she.
Sorry so long.....

I really love the idea of a home birth.
Unfortunately, the risk is just too much
for me. So many babies are fine right up
until the end, and then just about
anything could happen. If something were
to happen to me or the baby, I would like
to already be at the hospital and have
doctors already there to take care of the
situation.
I have heard and read about a lot of home
births, and it sounds like an absolutely
fanstastic experience. I have actually
never ever heard of anything going wrong
(in real life anyway), so if you are not a
natural high strung worrier (like me), and
you are low risk I think a homebirth would
be great.
Good luck

I wouldn't risk it, so many things can go
wrong during labour its best to have
doctors and equipment close by just
incase, aswell as it being total agony
until you get some medication.....Nooo
way. Maybe your first 2 labours werent
that bad, some women are lucky there!

i am thinking of bringing the fandom_wank
method of dealing with trolls/people who
fill you with rage/whatever into play.
Say 'okay!' when they make a post, and
then ignore them. Drives them nuts if
they're going for attention, and avoids
flame wars.
What do you think?
