After having some really bad experiences having babies in a hospital, we had our last 3 at home, my husband and my daughter delivered all 3. My last had the cord wrapped around the neck, so my daughter pushed on my stomach to push the babies head out, my husband got it off like a rubberband and she came flying out....important to know that if you feel the birth process is not going fast enough, I knew. Also tie the cord off on both ends and leave a space between to cut after it quits pulsing...we used fishing line. Don't deliver the placenta right away, hospitals do that and that's when hemmoraging occures. Your body and your blood vessels need to CALM down before you go ripping the placenta out!!..STUPID DOCTORS...we buried it in the backyard......Also HOMESCHOOL...never put your kids with those evil people. I'm not suggesting you have your baby at home without some knowlegable help there, the experiences I had in a hospital and the research we did prepared us for success at home and it was Great, recovery was faster, believe me your body does what it is suppose to do Naturally...they use fear, fear, fear on women...it's BS
