    Hope things work out for your Kirley. A homebirth is the best money you'll ever spend, an investment in the well being of your whole family.

    Here's some stats that your dh might enjoy:

    The lastest stats we have are from 2009.

    In 2009 there were 863 planned homebirths. 216 of these women were first time mothers. The predominat method of birth was non-instrumental vaginal for 99.5% of these 863 women. Of babies born at home in 2009, 99.8% were live born.
