[quote=Anonymous]I had my first (and only) at home with 3 midwives. The laboring with no pain relief was intense, no doubt. My midwives had the experience to suggest some different positions that helped him come out when it was time to push. DH caught him and we immediately had skin to skin and he nursed right away. If I were going to do it again I'd probably go with a birth center connected to a hospital and ask a lot of pointed questions about hospital policies (do they have intermittent or remote monitoring that allows me to move freely? How long do they allow mothers to labor before administering pitocin? If GBS positive, how do they handle antibiotics during labor? Will there be strangers in and out of the room to check on me or will I have dedicated support throughout the entire birthing process? Etc.)[/quote]
