I'm still surprised and saddened by how 'revolutionary' homebirth is perceived and how many women say "that sounds fantastic, but it's not for me". Why not??? It's not a political statement, it's not some crazy-wacked-out-hippy-nutcase idea. it's normal. It's about normal women and families birthing their babies in a normal way. No fear, no drama, just birth
I KNOW!

For me, homebirth is just a sensible choice, especially with a small family. The fact that I have my appointments at home and don't have to arrange babysitting or drag my kids to the hosp for every appointment (and have to endure the big wait) is such a hugething. That when I go into labour, there isn't a big contingency plan for what is going to happen with the kids..... The practicalities are one of the biggest bonuses for me. If my midwife is running late for an appointment, no big deal, I'll just keep doing the housework, or playing the with kids or resting And like you said, no fear, no drama, just birth
