My Homebirth, in the Hospital (long enough!)

[Schmickers]

You know what? You did your own research, you planned for the birth you wanted, and when things didn't quite go according to plan, you still stuck to your guns and stood up for yourself and made the very best of the situation.

I think you should be very proud. I don't think it matters that you didn't have a "home"birth - because what you had was your birth, and you didn't let anyone take it away from you.

Congratulations.

You should be so proud of yourself! You birthed a baby and you did it with odds stacked against you. I think you should have kicked that doctor and anyone else who didn't believe in you. It takes amazing strength to not be afraid and open your body for another...and you did it!

Helly, what an amazing story. You did a fantastic job birthing your baby when you had Dr's telling you you couldn't. You have so much to be proud of. Thankyou for sharing your story.

I Couldnt say it better myself! You showed such strenght, you will be proud of yourself forever!

Hi Helly

Congratulations on the birth of you baby!

I can fully understand how you are feeling, my first homebirth was a transfer to hospital, and it took me a long time to fully process it all, I felt quite ripped off at the time, but am at peace with it now.

Are you going to debrief with your midwife about it all? Sometimes that can help a lot...

I must say I'm not impressed at the way you were treated in the hospital at all...

Take care.
