My old boss is Dutch and in Holland it's more normal to birth at home. Her 2 kids were born with the help of her midwife and for one her husband was there and the other her sister was her support person.

In a country where homebirthing is the norm, I don't think their cases of perinatal mortality are any higher than in countries that over medicalise the whole process.

If you and bub are healthy and everything is normal then what's the problem I say?

Perhaps find a more supportive midwife or even continue with her for your antenatal care but make sure you have another on the books who can support your wishes.

Good luck
