All 3 of my children were born at home with midwives. The benefits for myself and my family were physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Anyone else?

Texanstar181 I had two home births and both I felt had the same benefits as you listed ( physical, emotional, mental, and spirtual). I did lots of research and talked to many people before I made the decision. Now I am pregnant with twins and it doesn't seem like homebirth...

Hospital Birth Or Home Birth?

Texanstar181 I have given birth at home, twice. Both unassisted (meaning just my husband and I). The first one I was 19 and it was planned. I didn't have any fears. Labor was a quick four hours, no tearing and no problems. My daughter was a healthy 9 1/2 pounds and so...
