I'm watching documentaries on babies and deliveries. I'm glad I'm already pregnant because I'm pretty much petrified now. I'm pretty certain I don't want a hospital birth now (drugs and inducing and c-sections and holy cow!), but I'm pretty scared about having an at-home birth! Where's that stork???
How many of you guys are doing an at home birth and how many of you are going the hospital route? How many of you are using midwives? Can you use a midwife and a hospital? Are midwifes as costly as hospitals?
I have my first appointment May 8th in South Dakota (I get an ultra sound ), but I'm moving to Texas late May and will probably meet midwives there. I'm excited to see ultra sounds and hearing heart beats, but don't want my baby to be forced out of me by a bunch of rushed men and women in white coats, either.
Also, the husband is going to be required to watch these documentaries. He scoffed when I asked if we should have a water birth. At this point, I'm feeling it's the only option. It's what the -baby- wants, I can feel it! lol
