I’m glad it worked out well for you.
Life sometimes works well - sometimes it doesn’t. I had bad experiences three times with birth at a hospital under a doctor’s care.
I gave birth twice at home after that. I simply hate the idea of big nanny-state government telling us what we “must” do.
I considered home birth with my 6th ... well, my friend’s basement ... because it was such a nuisance figuring out what to do with my five other children, and I considered having my 7th on the lawn at the Fire Department. However, in both cases, I managed to make it to the hospital after squaring away all the siblings. I’ve known people who had successful home births and people who had bad outcomes, but the same is true with hospital births, so I’m neutral.
I think the real issue in this case is that the midwives have some sort of ideology going on that is unrelated to patient health. It’s worth noting that midwives’ organizations tend to be stridently pro-abortion.
