emblem boy 12/12/21 7:51:52 PM #13:	Cleo_II posted... Its risky even if the pregnancy is considered low risk. So many things can go wrong. Baby could get stuck, have the cord wrapped around their neck, mom needs blood transfusion, etc. Id rather be in a hospital with the best care. Doulas/midwives are not doctors. My pregnancy was low risk but baby wouldnt come. I was 10 days past due when they induced me. She still wouldnt come. 26 hours later I had a fever and her heart rate shot to over 200 bpm. I was shaking uncontrollably. Had to have an emergency c section right away. Baby was out within 30 minutes and safe. Yeah, true. Shit can go wrong fast... Cuticrusader09 posted... I think women that want to do that underestimate the pain. I attempted to go no epidural my 1st kid. It was painful to the point I was actually preventing myself from progressing. I gave in and got the epidural and my kid came out soon after. I was watching a video about it and I disliked the way they tried to push no epidurals as some type of rite of passage of womanhood, in which you lose out on "real birth" experience. Was distasteful TheGoldenEel posted... We used midwives but were in the hospital birthing room for the actual delivery it was nice, she got the pain meds she needed, but it was just the nurse and the midwife in the room the whole time, sometimes just one of them at a time. I was very involved the whole process as well, supporting her legs and back as needed. Dont know if thats normal or not with standard birthing So she was able to move around and stuff like that? JScriv posted... Three of my kids were born in our home, with mid-wives and a birth pool, most recent one was during COVID. Our first was born at a hospital because we were told that induction was necessary. For us, home birth with mid-wives is the way to go when possible. Obviously not for everyone but we found it to be a much more pleasant and sentimental experience. How far away was the hospital for you guys, in case a transfer was needed? --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate <cite>emblem boy posted [p:960860956] in How do you...
