[quote=Anonymous]I think we need to have options. My best friend has given birth 3x a home with a midwife. She doesn't have insurance that covers this and pays for it out of pocket. She has a PhD in engineering. I think she should be able to make this choice. I do not believe that people should be able to give birth without a midwife or a doctor present though. My insurance wouldn't allow me a home birth either. I REALLY wanted a midwife birth in a birthing center attached to a hospital. I was denied this. I would have loved to have gone home after 8 hours and would have even hired a nurse to care for us if they would have allowed that. Instead I had to fight to leave at hour 24 both times. I loathe hospitals and postpartum care is atrocious. I always felt more cared for at home than in the hospital. I was allowed to sleep at home.[/quote]
