Home Birth or Hospital Delivery Room?

Question

Which one are you going with?

Answer

I've had 2 friends with very normal pregnancies who ended up in emergency situations, one whose baby went into distress quickly out of nowhere, one had a son who unknowingly had his cord around his neck. If she had to get to a hospital, he wouldn't have made it. Even if you're close to the hospital, it takes time to get you admitted and prepped for surgery. I hate hospitals and IVs and don't like doctors in general, I love the idea of a more peaceful location, but I would be too nervous to deliver elsewhere due to my friends' experiences. Some hospitals have options for an otherwise 'natural' delivery with a midwife or doula, but at least you're already there in case an emergency arises.

Answer

I wanted a home birth but after we lost our angel baby n am considered high risk, we're going to be in hospital this time round. Maybe next time.

Answer

I'm considered high risk and a FTM, so I'll be in a hospital.

Answer

Home birth, first baby, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  I think it's very natural and I want my baby and me to be in total control of our process.

Answer

First baby so I'm doing a hospital birth to make my husband happy but next baby I'm hoping for a birthing center or home birth

Answer

FTM and I would love to have a home birth but my parents will be staying with us and I just don't think I'd be comfortable with them in the house during the actual birthing process.. 😛 so.. if there's a next time then I'll opt for it then if I can. Going for a water birth at hospital this time.

Answer

I will be at an accredited birth center with midwives attending. It's about 5 minutes from the hospital if anything goes wrong.

Answer

If you're doing home birth, have you before? Do you prefer it? I'm curious! 😊
