My next one, due any day now, has to be born at a hospital because of a complication I had after the last birth. I've found a hospital where I will feel comfortable (natural birth is the norm in the country I now live in, too, which is reassuring), but I will always treasure the memory of having had a homebirth. The complication aside, it was by far the easiest birth and I didn't realize how much less stress I felt and how "at home" I would feel being able to remain in my own home!Christine at Origami Mommyhttp://www.origamimommy.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776448920980906063.post-16119562367929344842009-10-01T10:53:57.277-07:002009-10-01T10:53:57.277-07:00Thanks for reporting on this study and for posting...Thanks for reporting on this study and for posting that great photo.

I've never much thought about this subject but this has opened my eyes about an important and very personal issue moms and dads face regarding how--and where--they bring their baby into the world.

While I don't believe that homebirth is safest for ALL women, I do believe that for women like me--healthy women with normal pregnancies who feel safer and more comfortable at home (I think that last part is key)--it's safer than being in a hospital. I didn't have to worry about unnecessary and possibly dangerous interventions, infections from hospital staff/other patients, etc.Meagan Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146993106963872477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776448920980906063.post-5472520348848515222009-09-30T15:16:35.072-07:002009-09-30T15:16:35.072-07:00This makes solid sense to me.

But after having my last child completely naturally (but in a hospital) I can understand why women choose to birth at home. I had seen this study. I think what some doctors do not always take into account is they treat the medical side of pregnancy, but not the more personal side. I could understand how birthing at home in a more relaxed setting might produce better results (or I guess I should say equitable) than the more stressful hospital environment. Still, I would chose to birth in a hospital, just in case, but keep the experience as natural as possible.ReadyMomhttp://readymom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776448920980906063.post-90738482352423510252009-09-29T10:32:45.562-07:002009-09-29T10:32:45.562-07:00I'm fascinated by this subject -- but even mor...I'm fascinated by this subject -- but even more, by the passionate responses it arouses. I think it's all part of wanting to be a good parent from the very beginning and of defending the choices you make. Only now, with kids who are in their twenties, do I feel more comfortable thinking other choices would have been fine, too. I went to the hospital both times, but given the uncomplicated births, would probably have done equally well at home.ruth pennebakerhttp://www.geezersisters.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776448920980906063.post-91801917422270227392009-09-29T09:32:40.552-07:002009-09-29T09:32:40.552-07:00I had my babies in a clinic in France.

The foreign environment added to the stress, especially for the first birth, when I could hear the mid-wife talking about leaving on vacation in the corridor. <br /><br />I found this post really interesting. I'd like to know what is required. Does one have to get legal permission?<br /><br />My two daughters could have been born at home, since there were no complications, but if I were doing it again, I'd choose to be living in a home close to a hospital, just in case.Alexandrahttp://chezsven.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776448920980906063.post-71751692569978331252009-09-29T08:15:44.981-07:002009-09-29T08:15:44.981-07:00I had two C-secs so home birth would not have work...I had two C-secs so home birth would not have worked for me, but it is an option that I think is a good one.MarthaAndMehttp://www.marthaandme.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776448920980906063.post-80845560677399700082009-09-29T07:02:40.523-07:002009-09-29T07:02:40.523-07:00Having had my two children in hospitals, a home bi...Having had my two children in hospitals, a home birth sounds like a nice alternative. I am always more comfy in my own home, and I think given an uncomplicated birth without need for serious medical intervention, birthing at home would add another dimension to an absolutely wondrous event.Sherylnoreply@blogger.com
