After having four children in the hospital my wife wanted to try a homebirth. She talked me into it and this was our experience. We had three more at home after this experience.

Jul 7, 2008 - Yes, it is very noisy around the house, but usually a happy noise. We had the first four in the hospital. Then my wife talked me into trying a homebirth. After I interviewed the midwife I agreed. It was such a wonderful experience for us that we had the rest at home.

Jul 7, 2008 - No, nothing amazing about it. We have so much fun. The big kids help take care of the little kids. The little kids entertain (and torment) the big kids. They each are interested in different things so life is full of variation and color. We all live on my modest income, but my wife and I feel rich.

Jul 7, 2008 - Just the way that it should be done.We are preparing for our 5th home birth (6 in total) in Sept of this year, and I believe that the experience has empowered me as a woman & as a mother in so many ways. Well done to your midwife for encouraging you & your family to embrace birthing the way that our bodies intended, the way that women embraced birthing for thousands of years...

Jul 7, 2008 - It's really unfortunate for all these children that you think bringing life into a shitty planet is ok.

tkdtoad Says:

tkdtoad Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Actually this one was born in a birthing tub in the reading room. She's quite proud of it and often proclaims, "I'm a water baby!"
tkdtoad Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - The planet I live on isn't so bad. My children seem to be enjoying it.

Jul 7, 2008 - Wow, this is really great. No bright lights, no "coming into the world shock" for the baby, no unnecessary poking and prodding. You gave your daughter a really cool start into life! Congrats.

Jul 7, 2008 - Perfect that someone with "kill" in their id name hates life. You must put off some nasty negative energy where ever you go. No wonder the world is "shitty" to you.
