I agree with you again! lol I don't want a homebirth, but I do plan on having a midwife and a birthing center with the next one. i just can't believe that their are laws that prevent woman from birthing this way. Also I read that some states made it illegal to have a water birth. Thats just crazy too. Again I do not want a water birth, lol I don't want to sit in my own stuff. But many woman find this the best way to birth
I've never even heard these things...how odd. What if a child is born at home by mistake? My last 1 year old came so fast I barely made it to the hospital in time.
aw, thank you so much 
I love your pics too, how'd you get them to look so cute? Did you design that yourself?

ok so I did look up this whole illegal thing. It is not illegal to have a home birth, but it is illegal in some states for a midwife to be in attendance. So you can have an unassisted birth, but you have tolook at laws if you want a midwife there

I just love babies. I want another baby. Not a home birth though, too scary. Also, I almost forgot, your quote about the troops is awesome, i told my husband and he got a kick out of it. I'd love a picture done...what else can you do?
I think one should be allowed to have a home birth and I think it is silly to outlaw miwives in some states because wouldn't having a midwife in attendance make it safer?? Just me. I wouldn't personally want a home birth.
I think home birth is one of the greatest most beautiful experiences a woman can have!Kaytee said:
Too bad I was too ignorant when I had my first baby, so I ended up with two c-sections

So, if I wasn't so ignorant at that time and knew what I know now, I would have had a beatiful home waterbirth.
I had mid-wifes for both of my children's birth - at a hospital though! A physcian on-call was there if needed.
But I don't think it should be a law that women can't have babies at home. Think back to times when women gave birth to babies all the time in their home. Risks were greater than, it was common for women to die in childbirth.
With medical technology today, I suppose that is why I still would want to be at a hospital.

I also would not want to be at home, but I do plan to go to a birthing center. HTe best of both worlds in my opinion. The comfort of a nice bedroom and teh freedom to birth the way I want to but the security of knowing that they are there if things get bad. They will take me to the hospital and be with me the whole time
I personally am glad I went to a hospital. I don't feel there should be laws to prevent this and if it was the case then I would say there needs to be a test for being a parent. The reason I'm glad we went to the hospital is that we practiced the lamaz, etc. as you would if you delivered at home but during the time of birth I was able to focus all my love and concentration on Dana and help her through this as I can only imagine how painful it is to give birth to such a large child. It still amazes me to this day how well she did. John
At the hospital I had Natalia at it was so wonderful because they do everything in your room- checkups, bathing the baby, everything. She was in the nursery for only a short time while my friend took me for a walk around the hospital.
Oh I know what you mean. At the hospital where I had my first three they kept trying to take my babies.
