Would you have any advice or information suggestions for those considering home births?
Sure! I would first find a local midwife. Schedule an interview with her, and ask any questions or voice concerns you might have. There is a good chance that the midwife you are talking to has experienced many different scenarios with delivering a baby. Midwives do come with some medical equipment when at a home birth. The only thing that they don't offer is the epidural, but they can help with pain management.
Midwives provide the expectant mother a list of materials that will be needed for the the home birth. There are also plenty of videos on youtube of women sharing their experience.
Going into labor is a lot like running a marathon. It's important to focus on your breathing... This will help your muscles stay relaxed. There are plenty of hypnobirthing videos available that offer guided meditation to help during labor. It keeps the mother focused on labor, and keeps your mind clear of any distracting thoughts during contractions.
It's also important to remember that people's attitude towards child birth has often times been influenced by the media (whether they realize it or not). Labor and delivery is not an emergency, and is not scary. The female body is designed to do this.
I gave birth at the hospital with my other children. There is a lot more pressure, stress, and distractions in that environment. What I liked most about giving birth at home is that I was in my own environment. I felt comfortable and safe. I prepared as much as I could before I went into labor that the initial fear I had was gone by the time my baby was born. I hope this helps!
Bless you for taking the time to post this reply! I hope others find your comment as helpful as I have.
Did you try pain management in the hospital and then go without at home? I’m curious about that experience.
You're welcome!
I did have an epidural with my previous pregnancies, and went without any pain medication when I gave birth at home.
I could still feel contractions even with an epidural. I think going without one helped me gauge and understand what stage I was in during labor.
Having experienced the comparison, how much pain did the epidermal relieve? On a scale of 1-10 with vs without. Did you find the fear placed on the final pain to be worth the build up society places? Not to say it isn’t painful, I think there is a lot of potential fear there and would love to hear what you thought. Again thank you for taking the time and your candor about your personal journey. I know I appreciate hearing it.
