Not exact matches
I just stumbled on this site, and I am also a homesteader (not urban though) and a
homebirth mama — my
last two girls (out of three kids) were both born
at home.
My wife and I had our first 2 in a hospital and it almost killed them because of the drugs they forced on my wife the
last 2 were born
at home in a pool the 1st
homebirth we had a midwife present the 2nd one the midwife was an hour and a half late so I delivered our daughter by myself it was awsome and now my wife is PG with our 5th baby we have the same midwife who was late to our
last birth and we already know she is not going to be here ontime mostly because she lives 2 hours away from where we live and we are ok with this.
As one
homebirth mother, who was a veteran homebirther and prominent in the
homebirth community, said
at an inquest into the death of her baby
last year, «If you are the «one», it's forever.
She has been jailed for allegedly presiding over an intrapartum death
at homebirth... In addition, she was arrested
last month for prostitution.
Partly OT: what happens when you have a bad
homebirth story (no
lasting consequences, thankfully), see the new studies, look
at yourself and say with certainty that had this data been available, you wouldn't have made a choice to
homebirth but you still support it for low - risk women in UK and Canada fashion?
If I, or my daughter, had needed emergency medical care (or worse) I think that the
last person I would want to face
at the hospital would be a doctor with a grudge against
homebirth like this doctor has.
So your logic is that because there are fewer babies that died
last year
at Homebirth as compared to all the other 99 % of the population who chose hospital birth, that
Homebirth is safer?
personally, I would never have a
homebirth, only one of my patients has had one in the
last 5 years and very few seem
at all keen to explore the idea.
Ask a doula about which hospitals are best for breastfeeding and other issues, because even if you choose a
homebirth, anything can happen and you wouldn't want to have to choose a hospital
at literally the
last minute.
