From what you're describing, almost anything will be safer for Little Mama than a C-section in these conditions. Short of placenta accretia, previa or transverse lie, she's better off. No gunshots, serious infections, critter-infested rooms or other hazards at home!
If you can find a midwife, you guys will really be cooking with gas.
We think we have found one. She will have to come across the back way here, on horseback, but if she can make it, it will be a Godsend!
Hallelujah! I'm praying hard for you guys.
