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.
Thanks.
Yeah, we specifically found a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). We are in Arizona and Certified Professional Midwives cannot legally prescribe medication or go beyond 42 weeks (which many first births do), however a CNM can.
Lots of curb walking at week 40++, put us in to labor for our first.
