These storieszs are great. I know someone on this episode: different story than this one though.

@Newyorkgurl20 - actually, the infant mortality rate is higher in American hospitals than for home births. Google it. Also, in the US, we have a higher infant mortality rate than in countries where most births are at home with a trained midwife. The website gentle birth has lots of good information.

@Newyorkgurl20 - midwives know a lot more than just cpr. most can actually perform an emergency c-section if they ever needed to. they also carry standard medical equipment. please don't throw out 'facts' if you are not sure about them.

This is probably one in a million where a woman unexpectedly gives birth to TWINS BY SURPRISE. But, this doesn't discredit the wonders and benefits of home waterbirths in a sense. When blessed with our 3rd child years from now, I will have my first waterbirth by then. Don't be scared nor scare the others. Proper knowledge will get you through a successful waterbirth. You have to be in control of your own innate capacity of giving birth. Our bodies will very well adjust, especially in water

im one to say although i wouldn't mind to have a home birth if i was to have a second child but there are benefits of both scenarios. Mind you with my son I could not deliver naturally..so i am glad I was at the hospital. i had experienced labor but i had never had the chance for the birthing experience I wish i could have. There are many different ways and honestly it's a personal choice to whatever way you want to bring that child into the world.

@Newyorkgurl20 Midwives don't deliver unhealthy babies; they only do low risk pregnancies. High risk pregnancies are always done in the hospital.

@VizardKusa What benefits? what are the benefits if your baby is sick and your midwife can only perform CPR, or if it is something out of her hands, because no test were performed, how quickly can you get the baby to the hospital.Somethings are just plain common sense

[VizardKusa]

@Newyorkgurl20 I had both my children at home. One with a midwife and one without, called 'freebirthing'. There's nothing wrong with it and has benefits compared to a hospital. :)

@Newyorkgurl20 it's not a stupid idea if you have a normal/low risk pregnancy. It's a more comfortable atmosphere and setting for mother/baby/and whole experience. It is a beautiful gift & experience to enjoy, not something to have surgery for, or go to hospital in lay in a bed. Many women are misinformed & not well educated about homebirths & midwives. Midwives come equipped with the same meds & tools a hospital would have..in case it's needed. Of course, HOSPITALS are for EMERGENCIES, though.
