I was just thinking about this this morning and was curious how others are planning to birth. I really need to figure something out cos I’m 14 weeks already. I want a home birth. I’ve home birthed before and I’ve had had hospital births. My preference is a home birth. I’ve had horrible experiences with hospitals and one was very traumatic (birth rape and medical malpractice). There’s just too much stress and anxiety (for me) to plan a hospital birth, I’m literally terrified of it. A home birth would be completely stress free and peaceful. I’d love to free birth but I’m willing to compromise with my fiancés paranoia of the “what if something bad happens” and have a home birth. He’s prefer a home birth too.
