Don't you hate it when your decision is not supported? OK so my friend had her baby at home and I'm the only one who supported her decision. Now she wants me to do the same and know what I want which is to go to the hospital. She mad because I want to do this saying she is so against the shots the give babies. I think I'm going to keep her away from me while I'm pregnant she so negative. I have other positive people in my life. Just wish she was one of them because I love her and want her to dare this with me like I did with her. But for a healthy happy pregnancy I have to stay positive. RIGHT?

Clysta I couldn't agree with you more. I had a c section after trying for a natural delivery and after 16 hours my son went into distress and although I was totally against a c section I had to make sure my son was safe. My mother on the other hand had 2 very uncomplicated vaginal deliveries and with each her active labor was under 4 hours. I always tell her she ***** haha :)

But alicia2003 you do need to be careful to not freak out the first time moms. A c section is a very serious operation and while I have not done research on pop it would seem as though if something went wrong in a hospital setting the drs would be prepared to handle it. That is why women give birth in the hospital so that there is immediate medical attention if it is needed.

Pelvic organ prolapse.

Alicia2003---You obviously feel very strongly about c-section, but you'll also cause unneeded panic in women who are already worried about one thing or another. While this does happen, there are other factors that come into play and not everyone who has a vaginal birth will have POP occur. For example I had an extremely uncomplicated vaginal birth--as do millions of other women.

C-section carries its own risks, and they all have to be considered. It's fine to voice opinion or shed light on it, you just need to not make it sound like they will die if they don't have it done.

Ok I have to ask what in the world is POP and why would someone intentionally want a c section? I had one with my son and am still currently try to talk my dr into a vbac. Unless there is something that cannot be corrected like the baby is breech or goes into distress I personally would rather have a natural delivery due to the recovery time and I don't handle medications well.

Now on to the actual question. I had a friend who did a home birth and while it was perfect for her but she is very understanding that it is not for everyone. If your friend is so against a hospital birth and refuses to budge on her opinion I would try to avoid her. There is no need to surround yourself with people that do not support you and your friend does not seem to be interested in being there for you.

Go have a C-section!!! I kid you not! ask you doc about POP and check out the internet. It happens all the time, ob's tell you nothing about this.. but trust me have a C-section.. Please do your HW on this! you don't want this!

ya i agree, i think im the type that would just stay clear,but if it did come down to a discussion you could say those exact words that you supported her in her decision and you would appreciate it if she could support you in yours, and no its not up for discussion... good luck!
