My hospital birth experiences (all three of my older children) were all very disapointing.I had them all med free (although I was offered meds frequently...) and I desired a natural,normal birth experience.I was forced to argue about having my water broken,what postitions I could labor in,not wanting an IV and had no options about what position I gave birth in.During my last labor (a fast one) they asked me health history during transition!! This birth is going to be a homebirth :)

@aluszka85 I had my first child in a hospital 13 months ago. I had the same experience but I ended up giving in to the pressure for meds. This hospital's policies wouldn't allow me to get out of bed once my water broke. :( I'm having a home birth with my second in December.
