Congratulation on the birth. We made the choice to be at the hospital for our son’s birth, We considered our options, though.
Would you outlaw home birth?
I would not outlaw home births, but it is something that I would never choose for our family in a million years. In this country a healthy woman with a healthy pregnancy has little chance of encountering deadly or life altering dangers during labor. But there is still a chance, and even if the chance is one in a million, I want her near doctors who have the knowledge, experience, and equipment/supplies to get the job done if something goes wrong.
