So yesterday my husband and I checked out a birthing center. We have two kids who were delivered in a hospital and they were less than ideal experiences. I have been trying to be much calmer during this pregnancy and really want a different birthing experience. They have a birthing tub and a queen size bed if you want to try different labor positions. It's ideal. We feel pretty strongly about using a birthing center instead of a hospital. And I would have a certified nurse midwife which is awesome.
