[quote=Anonymous]I have a cousin who delivered 5 weeks ago in NYC and two other friends who have delivered in hospitals recently and have been fine. I’d be nervous right now about a hospital, but no way I’d do a home birth. First child the hospital kept me in the waiting room not believing child was arriving and then got me into a room and said they’d check on me in a few hours. 45 mins later my DH was begging someone to come in and ob arrived to catch my baby. The nurse commented “you could have done this at home”. Except I was hemorrhaging, didn’t deliver the placenta, and needed stitches. The hospital experience was pretty miserable (they took my blood throughout both nights to keep monitoring whether I needed a transfusion) but I think I easily could have bled out at home. I didn’t intend to do unmedicated but that went reasonably well. That was in DC. My second child was born in a hospital in CA. The experience was extremely calm and peaceful as far as birth goes.
