[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though baby and I had no risk factors, my third would be dead if I had him at home. Don’t. [/quote]

This is absolutely ridiculous and just the kind of histrionics I'd expect on this board. You have no idea what the issues were with her 3rd or if she really even needed medical intervention. Do you see how many women here claim they needed an "emergency cesarean", yet they weren't placed under general anesthesia? Here's a newsflash, that's called an unplanned cesarean, almost always done unnecessarily.

I've had a free standing birth center birth, homebirth and I'm planning another homebirth. I'm a big advocate for birthing at home.

I will say, it's not for the faint of heart. I doubt many of my friends have the pain tolerance to handle it. They'd likely demand a hospital transfer after a few mins of transition. I do believe it's almost always healthier for the baby and mother to deliver in the home environment. Also brings baby into a calm and loving environment, that's a much better way to be welcomed onto the earth side. [/quote]

The ignorance in this post is astounding. What about moms who have medical
Conditions that require hospital birth? What about a wanted epidural? A needed blood transfusion? A planned Cesarean for mom with a heart condition who can’t deliver vaginally? The mom who develops severe hypertension in her final weeks of pregnancy?  Would it “almost always be better“ for these moms and babies to deliver at home?

The idea of “unnecessary” C sections implies in hindsight that the delivery mode was improper, unwanted, or unwarranted. However, unless
You have a crystal ball you have no way of knowing how the birth could have gone. So the speculation is ridiculous and the judgement completely unwarranted and inappropriate.

You clearly think you are a better mom for having delivered at home for your pain tolerance. Guess what? No one gets a medal for giving birth. You clearly don’t support free choice for all women and your own biases are clearly demonstrated by the ignorance of your perspective. [/quote]
