home birth?

So birth is still far away but I have been thinkin about having a home birth with a mid wife. Because Even if I did go to a hospital I would not want drugs.  Anyone else goin natrual or with a mid wife

Just keep in mind its not just about the drugs. Hospitals have access to nicu's, postbirth medications and other equipment. Its an option i wouldnt consider because of my pregnancy complications and not going fullbterm, however if you are low risk and have no reason to expect complications then its a great idea and a beautiful way to bring baby into the world.

Going naturally if my baby ever turns (we're transverse at the moment but I still have plenty of time)! I had an unmediated vaginal birth last time and that's the plan this time as well. Home birth is a great option. For whatever reason it didn't feel right with this pregnancy so I'm delivering with my midwife at the hospital. But if I ever have another kid, I'll probably do a home water birth. That's my dream!
