- Why I Am Having A Home Birth Over A Hospital. Q&A| My Pregnancy Journey Ep. 9
Hey Momo’s! I know this can kind of be a sensitive topic but please know that this is my opinion for myself. However you deliver your baby, it is beautiful!! You’re bringing life into this world. There’s never really a wrong way to do that 😄. But it’s also never wrong to do some research and make sure you understand all of your options! I’m so excited to answer your questions and share why I am having a home birth!

Hey Momo’s! Did you learn something new? 😄comment below and let me know! 💜
What type of Christian’s are you guys? ❤️❤️😁🙏
Yes❤️
I am blown away by the cost. In the early 90’s my midwife cost less than $500!
Love the homebirth idea. But please just do your research on waterbirth, because it's connected to waterspirits.
@@karenmonroe2058 here in Florida, my midwife was $6,750, less than $500 or even $3,600 is mind blowing to me 😂
Controlled breathing is a dream for pain relief! And having Paul push on your lower back as you contract!
Also, not rushing pushing will help you to not tear as much (some not at all)
Congratulations again! Homebirth for the win!!
I’m having my first- a boy in July and a home birth as well. I’m reading the book “Holy Labor” and it’s so good for mental reframing how we view labor and contractions. Sounds like it would be up your alley… it is beginning to transform my mind.🥰
Love your no nonsense attitude about this! I had a homebirth last January. It was an amazing experience!! You are going to rock it. And for those of you saying "well my baby and i would've died", most complications arise in hospitals because of unnecessary interventions such as labor inducing drugs (pitocin), epidural, not being able to move around, etc. True natural complications are very rare in undisturbed birth and good midwives will be able to spot it early enough to transfer if needed.
Amen amen! 😄💜
I LOVE SEEING WOMEN TAKE BACK THE POWER OVER THEIR BODIES AND THEIR BIRTHING EXPERIENCE AND BE EDUCATED AND ITS HIGH TIME WE SPREAD THAT GOOD NEWS TO NORMALIZE IT SO YOUNG GIRLS SEE THE GOODNESS OF TRUSTING OUR BODIES AND TRUSTING IN GODS DESIGN THAT WE ARE MADE TO BRING LIFE FORTH AND WE DONT NEED DOCTORS DISTURBING THE PROCESS ❤️❤️❤️💛
I had two hospital births with no pain meds. Completely natural. I did the breathing exercises and had a focal point i would stare at while having a contraction. Breathing exercises are key! My grandma had 10 babies at home..all healthy. You will do great.❤
@@beckyz1393 that is awesome!! God bless you and your strong family!! Haha 🥰
@@FlourishInFaith 😂❤
YESSSS!!! So happy for you!! I had an unmedicated birth at the hospital with my first. Worst decision ever, so many issues due to pushy medical staff. I had a 3rd degree tear and post partum hemorrhage. My recovery was awful and I had so much anxiety from the trauma….7 weeks ago I had my 2nd at home, just under 10lbs born at 41+6 weeks 0 tears, caught him myself…such a beautiful and God filled experience! I was literally napping and chilling at 9.5cm 🤣 My recovery has been amazing both physically and emotionally…day and night difference. You’ve got this Mama!! Highly recommend the doing it at home podcast and happy home birth podcast! I only listened to positive birth stories during my pregnancy to keep myself in a positive mindset. Also I did evening primrose suppositories starting at 38 weeks, ate dates every day starting at 36 weeks and perineal massage all of 3rd trimester. Also, I had the same mindset as you with wanting another person there for the birth…my SIL was there as an extra helper. She helped grab supplies during and also took pictures and videos during our birth!! So my husband was able to just be there for me and didn’t have to worry about anything else. So glad we did it that way and plus we have amazing pictures of our son being born!!
Hearing you talk about it is convincing me to want one 😆 plus I think it'll be much easier and less stressful than some doctor constantly telling you to push when your body already knows what to do 😊
I had my first baby at a birth center and my last 3 babies at home! I had such amazing experiences at each of my deliveries. It’s one of the closest times I’ve felt to God. Surrender the process to the Lord and focus on His goodness and strength throughout your labor. He’ll take care of you and that precious boy! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Love hearing about your journey! Blessings!
As a doula, home births are my personal favorite to attend! I also just had one less than 2 years ago. It was wonderful, especially compared to my 2 previous births (both hospital). I've actually never had a client say they wished they had birthed in the hospital instead of at home. So I hope you have a wonderful experience just like I and all my home birth clients did!
Girl, my 1st and 2nd babies were home water births! The water was so helpful and pain relieving. So excited for you!
I think its great that you know what you want and are sticking to that regardless of the opinions of others! Excited for you!
Yessss the comment about the pain being purposeful, I'm a labour and delivery nurse and I tell patients that all the time, each contraction brings you closer to meeting your little.
I think home births are very amazing..the only thing is I'm glad I was at the hospital cuz my daughter's heart rate was dropping and I had a emergency C-section...but hopefully that won't happen and everything will go how u want ...love u
I’m so excited for you! I had an amazing home birth experience with my son, even though I have a very complex chronic illness that causes severe fatigue.
You are 100% right. Your body was made to do this. 💗
This is a totally normal thing in other countries. The problem with home births in the US is there’s no standardized education or license one can obtain to become a midwife. They aren’t medical professionals across the board (though there are some nurses that are midwives). Other countries train people as medica professionals. US home births are more unsafe because too many high risk mothers aren’t informed about their options and don’t realize the risks. You never know what you’ll get with a midwife. Theh could be greatly uneducated and inexperienced. Women deserve to know ALL their options, but also, ALL of the risks. Many medical professionals would love if the US put the time and money into training midwives. It’s just not currently a thing.
I’d also like to add that I don’t think anybody is denying that any kind of pain is wrong. However, even something “little” as a fever can cause brain damage/death. Without even being a severe fever. Pain can also bring about psychological trauma. I don’t think hospitals are pushing the idea that we must be dependent on them. Modern medicine is the reason our lifespans have increased. We can bring comfort to those dying, and those who would wish they were dead without pain relief. I also don’t think that babies are drugged when born because the epidural doesn’t even have time to make it to the baby. And I don’t even think it crosses the placenta. I hope I’m hope I’m not coming off as judgemental. I just want to offer some peace of mind to people who have fear over these things.
Love this Morgan! Praying over your birth and that it’s a beautiful journey for you!
I had a home birth and it was so empowering! My midwives were amazing! My husband was so encouraging! My mom helped too! It was just all amazing. God showed so much mercy and grace! It was lovely!!!! Cant wait to do it again!
Watching this video reminded me of myself 8 years ago when I was having my 1st baby. I wanted a home waterbirth soo badly. Sadly I had no support from my husband and family on this one, and impossible to find a midwife here in France who would agree to homebirth with a 1st baby.. so ended up with a hospital birth, had a wonderful angel of a midwife who delivered my son, but she did cut me unnecesseraly (the only downside of the whole experience) and it took forever to recover.. With my second baby 5years later I didn't even consider homebirth, and thankfully so, cause when I got to the hospital at 4cm dialated, my baby had turned (brobably with the labor contractions) and had his foot in the birth canal😨so emergency Csection it was! you never know how these things will go. I do wish you a peaceful and amazing birth. Just wanted to say to prepare yourself and have an open mind if there's a need to transfer to the hospital. Looking forward to your birth vlog and afterwards impressions😊
This was such a timely video Morgan! I just posted a video myself about expecting my first and planning an Unmedicated childbirth. Wont be doing a home birth this time around but maybe for the next ones! Excited for us to be doing this pregnancy journey together 💛🙏🏼
This is so incredible! When I started chiropractic care, it taught me so much about the body that the world doesn’t share. Like how we are self healing and don’t need to rely on medicine! I have so much more appreciation and awe of how God made us.
Mine uses Torque Release Technique and they say they work with God in helping our bodies heal they way He designed.
Love that you are empowered and supported in your home birth and I pray you have a very smooth wonderful experience better than you could ever dream because birth changes women it’s an incredible life changing experience bringing a life into this world and what better place than in your own home surrounded by your own comfort and making your own rules as far as (not having to listen to hospital policies) I’m very excited for you!! I’m am 100% going to have a HBAC for my next child because I’m with you hospitals are a no no especially if you want an uninterrupted and natural physiological labor ❤️❤️❤️
I love that you made this video! I support you 100%. I also want to do a home birth someday because the more I researched, the more I realized I want a natural, intervention free, water birth. 🙏🙌❤️ So excited for you and Paul! 💕 God is SO good!
I've had 2 home births I can't imagine delivering my babies anywhere but at home 😍🥰
I love love love all of this!!!
This was a great video Morgan! Had my first two sons at home. It was so natural and beautiful. My midwife moved when I was pregnant with my third. Had a hospital birth in the birthing suite. The doctor admitted me early because I was past my due date. I will not go into great detail. Only to say that my birth plan was not honored. I did get a beautiful daughter out of it though. :-) I think the key is to pray about it and have peace with your decision! 😌
I love the idea of a home birth but it literally terrifies me. My son was born in the hospital and I wouldn’t change it. Im considering a home birth for my second but I highly doubt I will 😂.
Reflect on the root cause of why it terrifies you and challenge it! Sometimes the best things are more work, but then the reward is even better ;) for you, baby, and those around you
Had my first two babies at home. Just had my third that started at home but decided to go to hospital. Absolutly love home births but also thank God for hospitals for when its truly needed. Used hypnobirthing the first time which helped with calming my anxiety and made me rethink pain.. Listened to natural childbirth the Bradley way with my husband the second and third time which helped a lot.
I'm currently deciding between the birth center and home birth myself. Excited for you!!
I want to do a homebirth someday too, so excited to follow along on your journey!
I love to hear this. I'm studying midwifery in the Netherlands. Right here it's very common to have home births! 😉 The midwive is protecting a save birth. If there are complications or other factors that may cause an unsafe birth she will advice a hospital birth. But there is always room to still have a home birth.
ahhh this is so exciting!! i want to have home births when i have kids of my own!! so glad you talked about this, people need to normalize a home birth environment !!
So excited for you! I had two home births (in Lexington!) and loved them!
The squirrel 🤣🤣🤣
I love the idea of a home birth in the water! Unfortunately c-sections run in my family.. but I will definitely strive for a home water birth when my time comes! I don't like the idea of constant strangers being in and out of my room during the birthing process
Yeah gurl! This thrills me because ‘home birth’ is sort of this taboo subject here in the states. I’m a born and raised New Zealander and we generally birth in hospitals but in a home birth style. Very natural (or interventions only when absolutely necessary) with only one midwife we’ve met with the entire 9 months. I had beautiful unmedicated, uncomplicated hospitals births with my 1st and 2nd son back home but when I moved to the states and wanted another baby, I heard just terrible things about midwives and hospitals and the overall system here. So I opted for an independent midwife at someone else’s home because the state I live in doesn’t allow it (so stupid). I ended up having my 3rd son at a home, gave birth in their bath and left a couple of hours later…it was amazing!!! I’m just about to have my 4th (which I’ll film and post) at the same house and am so grateful for the experience and my midwife! We are absolutely built for this and it’s truly a god given experience that you’ll remember forever! Sorry for the novel…I’m just so excited!
I am not one to give unsolicited advice, as everyone is different during Labor... but my #1 advice for homebirth during active Labor : Focus on relaxing your thighs and your tongue. I was not told this for my first couple labors, and I was fighting myself by 8 centimeters... mentally fighting... My home birth mid wife told me this for baby #3, and my hip flexors were able to relax, giving me the ability to have a fetal rejection reflex. Basically my body did the work , while I was in deep Prayer. I did not push, just felt the baby coming... it was wild! I only had to push my placenta out.
Good for you! One of the best decisions I ever made, personally.
It is so great that you want to do a home birth.
When I gave birth to my son, his heart rate dropped dur to umbilical chord compression and they gave me an emergency csection. But this baby that I'm pregnant with now will hopefully be a VBAC
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Even though I'm not married or even close to having kids, it gave me a lot to think about. 😅
I read about The Bradley Method and it was so so helpful for birthing my second kiddo. Also, the chiropractor is so so important prenatal and postnatal!!!
GOOD FOR YOU! Our fam thought I was crazy but just because we were the first to do it in our family. I had a csection with our first (they told me she was stuck) - she was 8lbs 3oz. Had a home birth with our second - he was 9lbs 6oz :) turns out my body could do it! Now we have our 3rd on the way and are planning another home birth! Anywho- you got this girl! Theres a great documentary called The Business of Being Born -- I think it's on Amazon? If not, you can find it somewhere online for cheap, if you and Paul haven't seen it already. Home birth is great and I admire you going for it--your body can do it. Bridget Teyler is a great UA-cam channel to watch to prepare! I wish I had with our first :)
I fully support you Morgan! All 9 of my siblings were born at home (including me) I think there's such a negative light on home births and just an overall lack of understanding and knowledge that instills fear. Hospitals (kinda like you said) have an agenda and box of what's normal. They are not equipping women they are diminishing their bodies amazing abilities to birth babies!everything is rushed and unnecessary intervention is done. Home birth is the way to go 💪 at the very least, challenge what you've been taught is "normal" and research! Have an open mind 💕
I have so many friends that have had a home birth and also a birthing center birth! You go girl! The Lord will keep you at peace in that cozy home ♥️♥️
I had two unmedicated hospital births. With my first it was unexpected because I wanted an epidural but I got to the hospital too late. With my second I was prepared to do it unmedicated since I had already done it once I knew I could do it again! Being prepared and in the mindset with the second was a great experience!
I just had a home birth with my second and it was an amazing experience! My first birth was induced at the hospital and I had an epidural so polar opposite, no complaints, but definitely prefer the home birth experience. It's so much more intimate with everyone involved and the Lord, from my own experience.
I’m a first time mom, and I had a home birth! It was absolutely amazing!😍
Home births are not a thing in my country but I’ve seen all those homebirths you mentioned and they are all super awesome!
Atheist new to your channel! Hi Morgan, I'm not here to be mean haha I just wanted to tell you I appreciate your openess in this process, thanks for sharing more about the midwife process 😊 as a person who is a little distrustful of big medicine it's very helpful to hear your experience! Thanks for bringing us along!
Good for you! I am due with my first baby in two weeks and am having a hospital birth. I will be attempting an unmedicated birth. I didn't really know where to go with my birth so I stuck with my OB from before. I'd love to plan for a homebirth for future babies after this one though!
That Squirrel and your laugh Morgan was everything! 😂😂 Had me cracking up lol. Praying for a safe home birth and for Paul’s back!
Thank you for sharing❤️
OMG all of the links you put in your description are my FAVORITE home birth videos/channels.
Woohoo! 😄
I have loved my experience with hospital births, it was peaceful and beautiful and perfect and I’m excited to have this baby in my hospital! I however loved listening and I’m so excited for you to have the birth you desire. It’s going to be beautiful in Jesus’ name!🥺❤️
I highly recommend taking the husband coached childbirth course (or it’s called the Bradley method!) we had a homebirth for our first and are planning another homebirth for our second and it was amazing and my husband was amazing and felt so prepared and equipped due to that course! 😃
Hahaha that squirrel! I loved watching this cause I dream of having a water home birth some day as well ♥️♥️ Just recently learned about using a comb during labor to help reduce labor pains (it “distracts” the body from completely focusing on the labor pains)
Yesss for the combs! 😄 love it girl!
Wow, you made me realize a home birth seems better than a hospital birth! I'm not even pregnant, but in the future if I do ever get pregnant I might want to do a home birth now!
Good on you girl! I think it’s awesome you are having a home birth! Woman have been birthing babies since creation you got this! 🤗
Thanks girl!!
Was reading in your description you posted the birth course Mighty Mama Movement! I loved it!!!
Yay! Love hearing that!
I’m so glad you ultimately ended up going to the hospital! Safest place you could have been 💙 Can’t wait to see Luca Grace!
You should read Ina Mays guide to child birth!!! Love this love you! I had my baby in a birth center all natural so I did need laughing gas because my contractions were so strong and I also fractured my tailbone in the birth process so that helped so much! You should think of asking your doula about it seriously girl if it wasn’t for that I would have had to go to the hospital.
Wow I’ve started the mighty mamma movement practically pain free birth course myself 😅 Also recommend faith filled childbirth which goes into Christian Hypnobirthing. Very encouraged because my journey has been super similar. I was all for hospital and all the things and once I did research my mind completely changed
I love this!! My favorite part is when you start talking about why you want a home birth and how you just want to be in your home that you and your husband have built and nurtured and how you want it to be an experience with God on a greater level than ever before!! That's beautiful!! I've thought about a home birth, but idk if I could do it or not.. I tend to have anxiety and worry about the what ifs.. I haven't thought about it too hard though because I have not been pregnant yet, so we shall see!
Love! ❤️
I gave birth at home, it was amazing it was very fast and I think that was because I was relaxed and could move around and do whatever I wanted.
I’m in the UK so it was free but I just had two midwives turn up that I’d never met before. I was already pushing by the time they arrived. I did have to go to hospital after to be stitched but wouldn’t change the home birth regardless 💗
I was born at home!!
I have had 2 and wouldn't change it for the WORLD!!! You go, girl!!
I had a home birtb 7 weeks ago, best experience of my whole life!!
I'm super excited for you and Paul. I'm sending love and I'll be praying for you guys. I personally agree with you if a home birth is what you fell God is putting on your heart that's what you should do. Just wanted to send love and encouragement.❤️🙏
It sounds like you are really preparing spiritually and mentally! I wanted a home water birth but my husband was not comfortable with it so we decided on the hospital.
I was able to have a completely natural, unmedicated birth in the hospital this January. It was an awesome experience and I felt very taken care of - I had my husband and a doula there. I did worry about the push for interventions. They did try to get me to take pitocin when my contractions slowed and I stalled at 5 cm for 10+hours.
However, I opted to use a breast pump for nipple stimulation and they supported me in this and it got the contractions progressing again! A hospital midwife delivered my baby girl (9 lbs 1oz) all natural! I was grateful the Lord directed us there because I would've been a hospital transfer because of my blood loss right after baby girl came out.
However, I've had a good friend and a sister in law both have very successful, positive home water births and this was the best labor for them. I think it's important to listen to your mama gut and let the Lord lead you to the right birth setting that's best for you and your family and use wisdom and discernment as you mentioned. Everyone is always going to have an opinion no matter what you do.
It's a really beautiful and spiritual thing, to have it done at Home which is the future Safe Haven for yours and Paul's lil' one! :D ...I remember back when I was close with this young woman and her Husband I once called "friends/family", the former told me that she's eager to have another kid after she'd ALREADY given birth to hers and her husband's 1st, and I was like: "LET YOUR BODY REST!!!!" Haha
I did a homebirth and I think it's the best!
My specific prayer was not to tear and God answered my prayer he caresssss!!! Also there’s nothing you can do to prepare for the (pain) of course you can prepare but it’s honestly just something you have to go through to understand. Also red raspberry leaf tea / wide legged squats / coconut oil up the va jay jay lol
Birth is not pain free..the pain and the intense pressure of the contractions was traumatic for me and the epidural did nothing. Ended up with a c section because my baby’s heart rate was too high which indicated she had an infection. Spent 11 days in the NICU after that with my baby on IV antibiotics. Birth definitely doesn’t always go the way you plan. I need counselling to help me so I can heal and get passed the fear for whenever I want another baby. I went into it with no fear but the contractions were crazy! and I thought I was prepared but I wasn’t. Labour is like a mind game. It was a really humbling experience. Hope you can have a successful home birth! Praying for you.
Excited to be able to see your journey! Sarah Lavonne/ Bundle Birth on UA-cam is a great resource as well. I will say tho that birth is unpredictable so don't get caught up too much into a certain idea of how it will be. Most likely it will turn out differently than how you picture it and that's okay. It's part of the beauty of giving birth! I want to have a water birth with my next baby 😊
That is so great about the home birth. A great podcast to listen to is happy home birth, it’s full of positive home birth stories.
I was just going to recommend Happy Home Birth. My first two were hospital but I just had my third at home and it was incredible! The stories on that podcast were a game changer for me mentally in preparing.
Home births are very common in Pennsylvania as well. And also giving birth to a midwifery place. Home births are very peaceful and calm... if you are not high risk. Hope it goes well for you. The cost you mentioned is normal for a home birth. A hospital birth is even more expensive.
i had a natural water birth at a birth center! my first video shares my story if you ever want to hear my experience !!
I liked the idea of homebirths, but it sounds even better now! Love the thought you've put into this💙
Yahooo! 😄🥳
Had my first homebirth in October and it was seriously amazing and so peaceful! So so excited for you!!
Morgan, could you link the birth pool you purchased? It’s so hard to find them for such a reasonable price!
You are so brave and strong to do this!! I would be so scared an emergency would arise and you having to be rushed to the hospital. You got this momo
I gave birth at a birthing center with midwives, instead of a hospital. It was an amazing experience. Praying for good experience for you.
I'm the oldest in my family. My mom had me in the hospital, and after that she was done with hospitals. So the rest of my siblings were born at home. There were no complications with any of the births,, and the labors were much faster than some of the horror stories you hear about hospitals. Especially back when I was born, there was less common sense in the way childbirth was handled then there is now.
Love the video Morgan . I'm sure you will have a lovely home birth 😊 💕 you do what is best for you. I wish i had a more peaceful birth I had twins and had 12 people in the hospital room and they where disappointed that they couldn't get 15 haha 😅 although I am very thankful I didn't require a c section or an epidural which was a very high likelihood. I was in labor at 10 cm praying to the lord just before i started pushing and I had this strength I never thought I would have both physically and emotionally. As they were born at 31 weeks. The lord is good and will do good for you to 🥰💗
Do you have a link to the bathtub on amazon?? I just saw it on your stories but didn’t know if it was the midwife one or amazon one!
It actually is my midwifes! 🙊 the brand is oasis I believe 😊
I genuinely wanna know if you guys considered saving your babies cord blood?
I'll be praying for Paul too, what absolutely terrible pain he's going through.
A friend of mine was suffering from back pain from a injury and God healed him totally. It's almost been a year now since l prayed for him and he's truly well!!
Are you stretching and working out in preparation??? Biggest athletic event of your life?
Ya'll in the comments be ignoring Morgan's advice in the beginning of the video to not judge other people who chose different things 😂🤦🏻♀️ At the end of the day, you don't know what another woman's birth experience was like or what kind of setting will make them feel safer. There are women that may need to get induced or choose to get induced; women who choose to get an epidural or women who choose to stay home and have a water birth. Every woman should be able to weigh the risks and benefits of each option and choose whatever feels best for her without being put down and made to feel like your own opinion is better than hers. No two births are the same and as women we need to support each other through the process even if we don't agree with what the other person chooses!
How do you feel about homeopathy after having had it cause issues with your fertility before? Would love to hear your views on this.
Amen , sister. I will pray for Paul.
Loved this raw and open video! ❤️🙌🏼 Is your midwife a Christian? Was that important to you?
100% agree! I went to a birthing center for my baby boy three months ago. The knowledge, experience, and encouragement I received was far beyond what any hospital could have given me. I met with them more often than a hospital and the tools (diet, exercise, supplements) they gave me helped me get through! Next time I plan on doing a home birth, as the center has that as an option. Honestly, after giving birth myself, I don't understand why people prefer hospitals. The care in my experience is far less and WAY more expensive.
Hey Morgan! I just had my first baby in January. I love natural birth and worked with a midwife throughout my pregnancy. I labored at a birth center and had to be transferred to a hospital and ended up having a c section due to signs of infection and not progressing. All that to say, I loved my experience with my midwife and natural labor. However, I wish I would've had more of a plan as to which hospital to transfer to. Making those decisions in an urgent situation is not ideal, so I think it's important to do your research on area hospitals beforehand and have a plan if that were to happen. Praying that you'll have a peaceful and successful home birth.
Morgan your brave, everyone’s pain tolerance is different. I thought i was gonna have a easy birth, i was in labor for 12 hours only open up to 4cm, them contractions ain’t no joke 😅 then i had to have a c-section 😣 which is another painful healing process for 6 weeks. Come to find out i had a another child 10 years later the same thing happened 😩 moral of the story i can’t give natural birth 😒 i pray 🙏🏽 every thing goes well for you, home birth is the way they did it in the Old Testament anyway 😆
Back 33 yrs. ago all I knew was having your baby at the hospital. Home births at the time weren't heard (for me at least). We didn't have social media etc...Even back then I knew I wanted as natural as possible. No epidural. The most painful for me was when contractions getting close for birth got pretty intense. If I was to have a baby now; I would def choose home birth. I'm totally with you. God is def with you. God Bless you for sharing.
Not sure if you mentioned this in another video but are you going to post your homebirth on UA-cam? Loved this video 🤍 🐿
I totally agree with your point about pain not necessarily being a bad thing. Sometimes I'm not feeling well and I just wanna let my body handle it, not pills lol. God is amazing and we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Our bodies are capable of a lot. (But of course there's still nothing wrong with taking medicine)
I think you should bring where ever you feel most safe and comfortable. If that’s home it’s home if it’s hospital than hospital. I’m thankful I found a practice of Certified Nurse Midwives who deliver at a hospital about half an hour away. CNMs have lower rates of interventions like C-section, episiotomy, etc as opposed to OBS and they have been wonderful to meet with.
Watch that in a year ;)
I’m genuinely curious to know: what are the risks in home vs. hospital births?
You should watch “The Business of Being Born” it shares all kinds of great info ☺️. You can rent it on their website. I linked it in my description!
@@MorganOlli Thanks, girl! ☺️ Celebrating your long-awaited bundle of love with you! 🥳🌈💙
Birth is one of the most personal things a woman can possibly go through. Everyone has to choose what's best for them. Ovbiously plans can be adjusted if they need to be.
I'll be praying for ya'll.
