Before arrange for home birth you have to consider a doctor and check the positon of the baby by scanning and you can ask his opinion about home birth. If something goes wrong you will be in trouble because when I got my second baby the day of the birth the baby was rounded by umberical chord if this is the case normal delivery is not possible. It would be better to have a doctor in your home while giving birth.

Hello there, my opinion is, the best as you can do is look by the 2 professional sides, you can pick a mildwive to help you and she will probably indicate you what is the right way to arrange everything to give birth at home, and then you can ask to an obstetrician the benefits of give birth in the hospital. I personaly would choose give birth in the hospital coz there you have all the needs if something come out of the expected, and at home you have some restrictions if you and your baby need a special care during the birth. I wish you a great moment when yours arrive, cheers.

Whether birth is difficult or easy, painful or pain-free, long-drawn-out or brief, it need not be a medical event. It should never be conducted as if it were no more than a tooth extraction. There are many women who hope for child- birth in which they, not the doctors, are in control. They know that it is easier to do this on their own ground, in a place to which the doctors and midwives who are their care-givers come as guests. They would like to give birth outside a hospital. This may be either in their own home, or in a birth centre.Hospitals exist where all members of staff share this attitude, but they are few and far between. You need only one person who is out of tune with such ideas, who believes in the aggressive management of labour, who, instead of being client- oriented, sees a woman as a patient who must obey hospital protocols, one person who is anxious and afraid, and who cannot trust women's bodies, for the environment in which birth takes place to be poisoned, and completely unsuitable for the focused concentration and inner confidence that is needed for a good birth.
