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.
Yes! Congrats, fren!
Both my kids are born in our own bed, our house, our place. It truly is a very spiritual experience.
You might want to consider other things as well.
Do you want that?
They will advise to cut the chord immediately. That is standard protocol. Why is that? Would it fall off by itself after 10 days?
Birthing in warm water may be beneficial to the birth process and to both morher and child.
Heeljab. Consider not allowing it.
It's basically childabuse what they do to new borns.
