I thought you gave good advice but I also think that in many cases being by giving birth in the hospital a woman puts herself in a position where she may be intimidated into having medical interventions, such as pitocin, that she neither wanted nor needed. BTW if you do plan on having a natural birth in a hospital setting a doula is absolutely indispensable.

We did a home birth. We loved it. Not only was it easier on both Mom and Baby, it was waaaaaaaaayyyyy cheaper! It cost around $1200. That was 11 years ago.

We actually got a midwife that came to our home. We did not go to the hospital at all. I've heard of women having a mid-wife, in the hospital. It seems confusing to me.

Actually where I live they do deny you to eat when you go into labour for vaginal birth! You are not allowed to eat from the time you start labouring which can be along time. I ate a piece of toast when I was laboring during my labour with my second baby and was given sshhit for that and that was before realizing I would need an emer. c-section. But I was able to be sexual within 10-days after surgery so that was a benefit;)

...is there supposed to be a first video?

I absolutely agree. I like being where medical/emergency interventions are available ONLY as needed. Many unpredictable things can happen during ANY labor so I like being prepared.

Thats true, I would go as far to say that, with this logic from you, I would advise the husband that they should really take into consideration the comfort level of his wife. If shes not comfortable and happy it could affect the baby and the labor, so why not make her happy or find a happy medium?

Many midwives have equips that can care for a woman until she gets to a hospital you know...

LOL, but this was a while ago so yeah...

Im glad that your not one who is judgemental with your views with natural birth, For me I was most comfortable in the hospital, knowing that if medical intervention was needed, it was there. Good for me, because I ended up passing out in the middle of labor :) The babys heart rate dropped dramitically, so I ended up being rushed to an emergency c-section.

Thanks for sharing...without saying your way or no way :) people are more receptive to listen :)
