    Did I have a Homebirth or Freebirth

    Homebirth: Planned birth in your own environment, with medical backup/support in attendence:

    Freebirth: The planned birth of a baby in your own environment with the active choice to not need medical backup/support present but available....

    These are my own defintions as i planned a homebirth, MW didnt make it...i dont really feel like i had a freebirth?

    Maybe an "unattended homebirth"? Or "accidental freebirth"? Or just plain "family birth"? Whatever you decide to call it - congratulations

    I don't like "freebirth". Not sure why, it smacks of swimming gala's "freestyle" or something.

    I would say you had an unplanned UC (unassisted childbirth) at home.
