[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three home births and one hospital birth. I wouldn’t step foot in a hospital while unless absolutely necessary. All three babies were born peacefully in my home, the midwives monitored us, cleaned up, tucked us into bed, and checked on us daily after.  In the hospital a nurse tried to stick a glove that had just touched my dirty foot (wearing the socks I had walked into the hospital in) into me for an internal exam. Thankfully DH stopped her. The nurses were rough with the baby after birth, there was nothing peaceful about it. And then the constant interruptions of sleep by staff and machines for the next two days until we left. At home it was incredibly peaceful. Two of them were born without crying, one was so calm when born that I kept asking if they were breathing.

I would only recommend that you find a CNM - they are nurse practitioner midwives, and they have physician oversight for safety. [/quote]

thanks! I feel increasingly this way in light of COVID. what state did you deliver in? [/quote]
