I think it is par for the course...Yes, definitely. I think it is par for the course. It is great you are talking about it now, so at least you & Pru can get on the same page. How would she feel about a hospital-adjacent birth center if home birth is too scary for her? What would make your pregnancy high risk? (I apologize if I missed this earlier.) If you do have a home birth, what would trigger a transfer for you? <br /><br />Helen was NOT INTO a home birth, even though that was my preference. We agreed instead to have a doula stay with us through labor and go to the hospital only when I was ready to push-- which is exactly what happened. I was happy with the outcome, even the hospital part, because my placenta was retained and I would have had to transfer after birth anyway, and that would have been more traumatic for all. Anyway... Sorry to bogart your comment space. Feel free to email me (kgsavoie...gmail) if you want more details...Schroedingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246731751843695453noreply@blogger.com
