I figure this is my best chance of getting experienced home birth moms. I am really on the fence about doing homebirth or birthing center. I toured the birthing center, which is a wing of a hospital, so emergency is close. The only thing is they don't let you push in the tub. I just have this vision in my mind of birthing in the water and being able to rest there for a bit while baby adjusts to being outside. Then there is always the fear of things going wrong at home. Meconium aspiration, shoulder or other positional dystocia, hemorrhage, etc. I think I am leaning towards birthing center, just because of those fears. Did any of you have bad home birth outcomes and regret it?
look into a different birthing center. lot of hospitals won't allow tub birth because of control issues (you can't see what's going on the whole time) I'm planning my at a center with hippie-like midwives and couldn't be happier. strive to meet your birth plan,don't settle.
@loveless, thank you. And congrats on your healthy, happy babe!
nothing went wrong during my labor and home birth. I did it unassisted in water and it was an incredible experience. My baby is 3 months healthy and strong, she's been able to lift her head since she came out. keep that vision of your birth, your baby is telling you what he/she wants and you already know. it's not impossible, those fears and doubts are part of the process. I recommend checking out indie birth, it's a website that provides free information on all things natural birth, it helped me so much to alleviate those fears

Whom all is going to do a Natural Unmedicated Birth? Anyone using a midwife? Birth Center or Home birth? I am having my first baby, and plan on having a natural unmedicated birth at a birthing center with 3 midwives. I am very excited and look forward to the experience. I am not scared at all. I have read and watched many documentaries and articles, as well as birth stories and know what I want and what is best for my baby and I. I am not saying medicated births are bad, I definitely believe the...
We have limited options in Hawaii. This is the most mom and baby friendly birthing center on the island... @addi-maesmama I wish we had a hippie center to go to. The midwife I want to meet to discuss homebirth is an older hippie.
