Reason for homebirth

I believe most women who chose to give birth at home do so because they want to have as little medical intervention as possible. Even if hospital birth is thought of as 'safer', still, many moms feel like their birth has been 'stolen' from them and they were nothing but a passive body in the whole process, rather than the center of the experience. I sure felt that way and even if nothing went wrong in my hospital birth, still I seriously consider to have my next one at home. You are talking about risks - EVERY birth has risks. Even hospital ones. Not always the doctors can help. Sometimes they even do damage. You worry about human error on the midwife's side - well, believe it or not, doctors are also human! What, didn't you ever hear about doctor mistakes? x My point is, if you feel like you trust the system then go to the hospital. If you feel like you wnat to do it on your own - be my guest! The option should be available for choice and the choice should be made with knowledge. And, unfortunately, in either way there are no guarantees agains mistakes or complications. The choice is of how much control over the process the mom has vs. the environment. x Happy Hannuka Talila
