She is a cute preggo lady!! I am so happy for her that she’s choosing to have a homebirth. Out of complete ignorance, I missed that opportunity my first time around…but have had two really awesome homebirths since then. We are expecting again and are looking forward to also homebirthing this baby, too!

I like the idea of homebirths but I was never able to since I was a high risk pregnancy (ITP). I am glad that I had such wonderful nurses and doctors. I had no drugs or anything, but I had to have an ultrasound ever few weeks to make sure there were no complications with the baby. I wish her all the best.

It’s great she is having a homebirth, but too bad she decided to get an ultrasound. Was there a medical reason? The jury is still out on the safety of ultrasounding of babies, so women need to think about that kind of intervention as well.

I live in Holland and homebirth is more common here than having your baby in hospital. I have experienced it myself 3 months ago and it was wonderful! It was just me, my husband, the midwive and her assistant. I gave birth in my own bed and after I just got up, had a nices shower in my own bathroom and went back to my bed and I lay there between my new, clean sheets with my husband and baby. The midwive and her assistant made tea for us and the four of us toasted the birth of my daughter. I hope Laila has the same wonderful experience; cause at that moment I have never felt happier.
