Homebirth

I had a home birth with my 2nd and planning to have another with my 3rd. It was totally chilled and magical. I had an amazing team and would recommend to anyone 🤎

I had two home births. Crawling straight into your own bed after delivering baby was the best feeling! For my second baby big sister was in the next room and slept through the whole thing.

I home birthed my two babies. It was an incredibly special and spiritually aligned experience that I recommend to all women with low risk pregnancies. It’s only in the west that hospital birth is normalized. In most of the world, you only go there for an emergency. Otherwise, home it is! There’s nothing like being in your own bed, eating your home cooked food, and not having to leave or cart new baby around for the foreseeable future.

If you’re thinking about it, go for it. You’ve done the hospital thing. Your body is a wise birther. Let yourself be at home this time!!! My mama friend with four was kicking herself for not just having her last at home. She struggled so hard to get to the hospital in time and it was waaaay more stressful for her and it didn’t have to be.

Had a homebirth in Jan 2025. My 2nd son was delivered in 1.5 hours, feet first and accidentally unassisted as my midwife didn’t make it in time! Just my husband and I! Best experience ever. My 3rd will be a
home birth anyday now!

These all sound like beautiful stories but i have read some home births that have gone horribly wrong. Im curious, this is definitely not the norm where im from and reminds me of that British show midwives. How did the planning for this go? Where do u find midwives/ doulas that would do this? Is this location thing?

What did you have at home that made you feel super comfy at home while giving birth?

I want to do a home birth or go to a birthing center for the 3rd one.
