I vaguely thought it sounded like an interesting concept when I was pregnant with my first but I wouldn’t have risked it. Good thing too because my daughter didn’t present properly and I ended up having an emergency c-section after 28 hours of labor. I don’t think it would have gone well for either of us at home.
Yes, I don’t like how they push drugs and c-sections and things, but I also don’t think dying in childbirth - or losing the baby to something preventable - is a good outcome.
I have had 4 babies at home. It’s not for everybody, that’s for sure. If I am ever blessed with another, we will have a hospital birth. My risk factors are way higher than we can manage at home now.
