I really appreciate all your stories (and welcome any more!) as they've really given me confidence! We're on the list (!) for the Sunshine Midwife/Homebirth Program and will hopefully meet our midwife and her helper in the next few weeks.
This forum is absolutely AMAZING compared to other ones online, the honesty and matter of fact way all you guys write makes me feel so much more comfortable. I've tried out a few other forums, and feel a little lonely in that everyone is chatting about OBs and no real other alternatives.
This week, my Ina May book arrived as well so I've been catching up on a whole lot of US women and their home birth stories... and I bet this is just the beginning... I love learning thoroughly about new things, and since I've never been pregnant before, I'm soaking it all up!
Yep my first birth was a homebirth. I wanted homebirth to be my first because I knew it was the best option and wasn't going to settle for second best by having a hospital birth for my first otherwise I'd always regret it. Plus having your first birth at home where you feel comfortable was for me the best thing to do, nothing like having more control over something youve never experienced before that way you can't be pushed into things you wouldn't want to do.
Thank you!
