HomeBirth?

Question

Is anyone planning a homebirth with a Midwife? I'd love to get advice from mommies who have succeeded or had a change of heart. ❤️

Answer

To go with my comment...

First baby born at home (baby #2, my first HBAC) - this is in our dining room ❤

And baby #3 (2nd HBAC) - born in our living room! My 2nd and 3rd are 20 months apart.

Answer

I've had two amazing homebirths (HBACS actually!) and can tell you it was the best decision, EVER! I had two midwives (a pair that works together) and their student for my first homebirth, then the same pair for my second. Both of my babes were born in a birthing pool. One in the middle of my dining room (table was removed!) and one in the middle of my living room.

Answer

I've had 2 home births. I'm thinking about doing the  birthing center this time as insurance covers it. It's literally a house set up with a couple birthing suits, the midwives treat it like a home birth and I then get to go home a couple hours later 🙂. I loved my home births though, def prefer it over a hospital birth (I've had 3 of those).

Answer

I'm planning on having a home birth. This is my first baby, so
I'm hoping everything goes textbook!

Answer

I really wanted to with this one, but I had some pretty serious abdominal surgery 6 months ago, so I wanted to be cautious. Luckily I found a doctor who works with a team of midwives, and they are very hands off. I'm 38, and I'm not considered high risk.

Answer

We're planning a homebirth. Due May 7th. I'm happy to answer any questions about the prenatal stuff, but haven't gotten to the birth part yet. :)
