I have had three home waterbirths with a midwife. Glad to answer questions about my experience.

I had a homebirth with my daughter and I am planning one with my current pregnancy. I am also a doula and so have seen what birth is like in the hosptial and at home.

I am planning my first homebirth. 1st child I had with an OB and 2nd with a nurse midwife(2nd one was natural birth) both in hospital. Two very different experiences- I am excited to make the jump to home birth this time.

I had my daughter in the hospital. It was a natural birth. The experience led me to become a childbirth educator and doula. I believe birth is a natural process. With my son I chose to have a homebirth. He came very quickly. I had him in the water unassisted. The midwife got their about 40 minutes later. I have been a doula at both home and hospital births. I am happy to answer any questions about my experiences.

I had my first homebirth just a week ago today, it was amazing. I was very youung when i had my first child 14 years ago, that was a OB medicated birth. My next 2 children were natural in a hospital.
I choose hb this time because i came to realize how birth is truely an natural process, what better place to birth than in the comfort of my own home.

My 1st dd was a natural intervention-free birth with a midwife in a hospital in Maryland. My 2 boys were midwife-attended homebirths in southern Maryland. All three experiences were great and I wouldn't trade my 2 homebirths for any other experience. My second birth included a 2.5 hour retained placenta (eek!) which required lots of coaxing and some homeopathy to get out. I'm happy to help with any questions too.

Wow- I feel like I"m in great company. I'm sure questions will start surfacing the closer I get. Thanks for being willing to share info and experiences! More soon.

I fully support the homebirth choice and just attempted one with my first... unfortunately his head was turned and after 26 hours with back labor I transported. It was still another 15 hours before he was born but now that he's paved the way I hope to have homebirths in the future!

Wow! I had not checked back here in a while. I'm so glad to see so many people have joined and shared thier experience. As well as an internet community,I hope that many meetups and support group can start up from here.

I have not made it to one, but brooke atkinson has arranged a monthly meeting at the city church. But we could also do regional natural/homebirth meetings. Any ideas, times, and locations are welcome to post. Everyone is more than welcome to my home on the NW side.
