I had a home birth. Low risk pregnancy.  Textbook delivery.  Attended by 2 midwives and an apprentice.   Baby nursed within moments of birth.  I was never separated from him.  Beautiful healthy kid.  Fully vaccinated, by the way.

It was the right choice for me and my baby.  I avoided the stress of strangers traipsing through my room disturbing the privacy that is most conducive to labor. I avoided hospital staff watching the clock to see if I met the hospital's policy about how fast my labor should progress, avoided pitocin and starting the cascade of intense contractions that can't be managed without an epidural.  I avoided nurses shouting at me to wait to push because the doctor wasn't ready yet.  The list goes on and on.  All of those things have happened to friends and acquaintances during their births.

No thanks.  For a low risk pregnancy,  I'll take the midwife route every time.

Cool story.  Did you miss the part where this story involved a high-risk pregnancy?[/quote]
