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.
I think it’s a wise choice. You just never know what’s gonna happen in a hospital anymore. But having a back up hospital is a great idea. It sounds like you have it well planned, and I’m sure you’ll find some fantastic advice here regarding that topic. We have the best pede’s. Don’t we!
Backup hospital is an incredible choice, especially if you have one very close by you can trust.
Things can always go wrong, so being able to have an emergency room nearby is helpful.
But obviously this is the natural course, people had children just fine before hospitals. Good luck OP!
