home births

[neasyc]

just wanted to ask what you all think about home births i wanted one with my 1st child but they would not let me as it was my first with my second they were ok with it i had everthing in the house all set up but the day before her due date they decided she was to big for a homebirth she was born the day after her due date in hospital at 10 lb and face up she was born at 13.43 and we were leaving the hospital at 17.05 was thinking of trying for a home birth this time but thought i would ask general view on it first thanks for reading

I would never do it...just in case something went wrong...but its totally up to you and what you feel is better and your tolerance for pain...at first I talked to my doctor about it and he even said he doesnt understand why some women would want to do that so many things could go wrong but its your choice hun

I'm 21. This is my first baby and I'm having a home birth. I live about 35 min. From a hospital. But my mother-in-law has done it 9 times and she doesn't have a high tolerance for pain. She gave me a book that tells you how to relax properly so it doesnt hurt so much. Because the pain is from tightening everything up and being tense.

I think it all depends on you; how well u can tolerate the pain and of course how far u live from the hospital. Me personally i wouldnt cus i live 25 mins away from the hospital way too far if something happened and when i do get preggers i want to have the option of pain medicine but if you think you can do it and dont live far from the hospital and the idea of all that yucky stuff in ur house doesnt gross you out then i would say its perfectly ok.
