@bianca_rose, you got this love! Our bodies were created for the moves me of birth!

I know! Starting to get nervous! Lol

@bianca_rose, oh wow! You are almost there! I'm due Sept 9th

And @loveless that is amazing!!

I'm due May 27, you?

@mommyofacountryboy, that's great you are considering a birth center! I recommend you take a tour of the birth center and ask all the questions you need in order to feel comfortable. A birth center is vastly different from a hospital and has so much to offer those seeking a truly natural experience. I'm sure you will make the best decision for you and your baby😊

@loveless, thank you for sharing you story! I just read your bio and I felt so empowered! I will looking into the website you suggested. I just want the most natural birth that I can possibly have. I want to have a spiritual out of body experience and I want to feel empowered beyond measure during and after the baby comes and I honestly believe it will happen. Love and light to you😊

@bianca_rose, that's amazing! I'm so happy you are getting the birth experience that you want and deserve! I would love if you could keep me updated and let me know how your experience goes!! Best of luck to you love!

I gave birth at home unassisted with my husband, no medical professionals present, it was an amazing profoundly spiritual experience I would repeat again and again. =) you want the most natural and gentle birth that is the way to go. look up indie birth, it's a website that provides free information on all things natural birth and if you have questions don't be shy to ask

@bianca_rose, that's wonderful! I when is your due date? I am considering a home birth but I think I'm leaning more towards a birthing center

I'm doing natural at a birthing center. I tried with my first but needed iv antibiotics because of strep b and at the time the birth ctr couldn't do it but now they can so even if I test positive I'll still be able to. I wanted to do a home birth but only 1 of the midwives do it so they can't guarantee she'll be available when I give birth

@1sttimemom2be, I hope everything works out the way you want it! I'm sure you will make the best decision for you and your baby! Listen to your women's intuition.

@valrocks, I hear you and that's the purpose of planning out a natural birth at home or the birth center. Sometimes Complications do happen and of course it should be apart of your birth plan to include a hospital in the event that anything goes wrong. A natural birth is more than just being drug free it's allowing the mother and baby to fully go through the birthing process at their own speed and not interfering unless it's medically necessary. Women have been given birth outside of hospitals for centuries! We have been taught that A childbirth is not a medical emergency when it's the most of the most natural processes of creation. There are so many things done to babies after they come out of your womb at the hospital which is so unnatural. I just decided to look at things from a different lens and do a lot of research. I highly recommend you checking out the documentary "The Business of Being Born" on YouTube. It blew my mind away. Not trying to change anyone's choice just wanted to know if anyone else was considering it.

I'm all about a drug less birth but you never know what could happen and being at the hospital already is a wise choice. If you have a home birth and something doesn't go as expected then what.

yea im still trying to work it all out my dr is trying to convince me that the hospital is best but im just not sure... i have a cerclage in place and have to have it removed at the hospital at 36 weeks so he says it would be best there but im just not 100 % sure yet

@1sttimemom2be, thanks for your insight! Did you consider doing it at home with a midwife? Im 95% sure that I am going to a birthing center

i wanted to do a natural water birth but they dont do it any where close to me :(
