Mid-Wife ?

[kstapp]

I just got through watching the business of being born and it goes through the process of midwife births and hospital births and if you have never seen this documentary you should it opens a lot of questions. anyways I guess my question is who is going to have a home birth with a midwife and who is going to the hospital ?

I also have had 3 inductions all for medical reasons, have had a fetal death, but, no issues with anything at l&d.

I see a midwife and birth in the hospital.  I have had a forceps birth. He is 3 years old with zero issues. The documentary while informative is biased. Yes, it is a business, but, whether you visit an ob or a mw someone is getting paid.

thank you ! That is exactly how I feel. I am a first time mom and I am scared of the birth process and I don't want to have something happen or some drug given to me because  of the hospitals protocol and not what's in the best interest

I don't think home birth is even an option. I'm in Michigan and I think my insurance wouldn't cover it. The documentary was good. It made a ton of sense. I took a birthing class in the hospital and they barely touched on all natural birth. They assumed we all wanted epidurals.

I was really surprised on how unaware I was about midwives I never even knew about them until this movie

Im having my second schedueled csection....the only thing id make known is not to use ghe forcepts or vacuum because id rather have a csection...g.l though in the end its your choice i just know it wouldnt work for me

I'm doing a hospital birth i'm high risk due to my heart problem so i have to be monitored

[kstapp]

that is true I am just scared of there being a decision made at the hospital that I have no control over..

[asmith21488]

In my opinion you have to weigh the risks...say you have a home birth and something goes wrong...like a emergency csection is needed for w.e reason but youre a half hour away....then something happens youd have to live with that..i saw that movie along time ago but i know of midwives delivering in hospitals ithink thats a great alternative because youre at the hospital in case...
