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 delivered at home last october. It took less than seven hours and it was my first time. I couldn't get a midwife for it because i was considered high risk, but i had an experienced friend who helped me. Also check out "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbars Harper.
