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 had two children in the hospital and my last one at home 10 years later. I had a long labor, but what stood out to me was how relaxed and natural it seemed. And my baby was 10 lb. 1 oz! I delivered with no tearing, took a shower, had bacon and eggs for breakfast, and we all went back to sleep. It was an excellent experience - if you are low risk, I highly recommend it.
