I ended up with a very conventional doctor and hospital, being drugged into insensibility by deception, and being very upset by the experience. With my second baby, I was at least allowed to be awake, with demerol and a spinal. With the third baby, I was living in Oregon,and was able to find a midwife and deliver at home. Of course it was a happier, much more fulfilling experience, and I'm grateful to have finally had it.

I planned a home birth with my first child but transferred appropriately prior to labor and had a normal delivery with a CNM in the hospital. My second child was born at home with a CPM and what a difference! I will avoid giving birth in the hospital again if at all possible.

I had planned to have a home birth, but so far, I've had 4 early miscarriages. Maybe someday. Home births are often less problematic and stressful than the hospital.
