Anyone have a twin home birth?

Question

Receiving co care from perintologist and midwife for di/di twins. Really hoping I remain low risk aside from expecting multiples and deliver naturally at home. Anyone else crazy like me?

Answer

1. It's not crazy. Considering the astronomical c-section rate in this country (The US) AND our incredibly HIGH maternal and infant death rate (despite spending MORE on health care than any other industrialized country) I would say it is an exercise in INSANITY to birth in the hospital when you have a normal low-risk pregnancy (and do not rely solely on obstetricians to tell you what is normal!).

2. I had my vertex/breech twins safely at home with a midwife. And if this pregnancy turns out to be a twin pregnancy, I will again.

Answer

I wanted to as well but found an OBgyn who is all for natural birth he had his 4 babies at home and has midwives in the office. planning on birthing the twins naturally at the hospital if I am lucky!! I think it's admirable if you go for a home birth!

Answer

I didn't, I had a C-section. However, I think your choice is wonderful! Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!

Answer

Just started seeing an OBGYN in favor of natural birth in the hospital. He was great. We may still home birth it felt like the right thing to do to get a backup plan securely in place so if we had to transfer it wouldn't be a shock.
