My wife is 10 weeks pregnant. We've decided on a home birth because we think that will give us the highest chance of having a natural birth. We also feel a home birth will be much more spiritual and God focused, which we want to make sure Jesus is as the center of it all.
We have found a team with a certified nurse midwife and others that will assist us throughout the pregnancy. We have a nearby hospital familiar with our situation in case a transfer is needed for any reason.
Has anyone else had a home birth? If so, I am curious what your experience was like.
My husband and I had six out of seven births at home.
Wow! That is great. Would you be willing to share any more details?
What did you give birth in? Did you have a CNM or a CPM? Did you hire a doula?
If you had any difficult times during birth, how did you overcome them?
What role did you husband play? Did it change over time?
