Aa
so annoyed and venting.
I really want a home birth and in the state of GA I apparently will have to break the law to get one because this will be my second VBAC and CNM aren't allowed to attend HBAC's and CPM's cant legally attend births. Why is finding a birth attendant I feel comfortable with so hard. Ga is not known for it's birthing friendly atmosphere and I am really scared to have a baby in this state at a hospital. Why did we decide to have another child again??
Birthing in the US is very medical. It *****. Only reason for my first and only c-section was my stubborn son wouldn't turn. They dont even really teach how to deliver breech babies vaginally anymore. I come from a very home birth friendly background. So to me birth is a natural part of life. OB's are surgeons it is no wonder the c-section and intervention rates in the US are so high. This will be my last birth and I want it to be something wonderful and empowering. I dont want to live ffeelinglike I did after my first child was born. Yes he was healthy but my whole experience and choice was ripped from me. My second birth was an extremely healing experience and I want this last one to expand on that.
Whats wrong with the hospital ? I live in Atlanta.
Is there any possibility of getting a doula and a private midwife so you can have the baby at home? Not sure how it works in the US as from the UK where they are actively encouraging home births.
Even a birthing center would be fine. Everything is just 2+ hours away. Child care logistics for my other two make it almost impossible. I am just frustrated and depressed. We just moved to this area back in march. If I would have known then what I know now. I never would have agreed to the move. just feel like crying.
New Hampshire is the same way. What about a birthing center rather than a hospital? They can do the VBACs there.
I live near moultrie which it might not be much better here but I dunno ab home births by t doctors are really good
Near macon.. this area *****.
