All my births were with midwives.
My first was totally at home.
The second was at home but transferred to the hospital after it went on and on. But still ended up a totally natural birth.
And the 3rd was planned for the hospital with a midwife in attendance,
except that I had the baby 15 minutes after arriving with only nurses in attendance. Again, totally natural.
Thanks for sharing your birth experiences with us.
I should have my wife write up an article of her experiences!
I actually 'caught' my second born when the warm shower worked magic and he came 'all of a sudden' after about 30min of arriving at the birthing center!
Our third was at home with a midwife!@canadian-coconut
Peace!!
So lucky that you had your home birth with a midwife the first time!
If I had that, I don't think it would have been so long between my first and second, I wouldn't have been scared off...
I'm so happy for you, that all your births were natural! <3
