Natural birth in hospital?

[DolceBella]

I had a really wonderful natural water birth in the hospital. Hoping to do it again this time too!

I had an amazing natural vaginal birth in the hospital under midwife care. In in Ontario and I found the support of my midwife to help me follow through on my birth plan for me the most important thing.
I agree that you should wait at home as long as you can, get a room with a tub, be open to suggestions from your birth team. My midwife came to my house to check me when contractions were 3-4 minutes apart and lasting over a minute. I was 3cms and that was about midnight and then she told me to hold on as long as I could safely and then we would meet at the hospital. I made until 3:30 and tried a bath at home and was 6cms when I got to hospital. I WANTED an epidural but my midwife suggested the birthing tub. I didn't want to because it didn't help at home but what she suggested with gas and air helped me do it all the way.
