[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP has never come back to answer questions about her risk factors and I get a strong impression she's  FTM.  This is a terrible idea.[/quote]

no, I'm low risk and a 2nd time mom. I haven't had time to come back and check all of the comments, and I am greatly appreciating all of the different stories. I had no complications at all during my 1st birth, but I didn't love the experience. it felt cold and impersonal, and I haven't liked my COVID prenatal experience so far (not at all the dr's fault, but it isn't a warm environment when you're getting an ultrasound and everybody has masks gowns and face shields). I imagine labor in these times would be similar to my prenatal experiences and was looking for something warmer and that I connected with more.[/quote]

What do you think is best for your baby notwithstanding your birth/prenatal experience?  I’m not saying at all that your comfort doesn’t matter.  But I could never forgive myself if harm came to my child because I didn’t want to experience the discomfort of a hospital.  I know that the COVID risks and (arguably) the maternal complication risks in hospital births are real.  The question is whether those risks outweigh the known risks of home birth.  [/quote]
