Only after doing lots of research and knowing your own body and experience, talking with your doctor and others, can you make this decision. I'm all for home birth, but you have to know and be prepared for the risks and some people do have risks.

This is a great question that I wish more women would realize the value in. I have heard that in other countries insurance provides the mother with a nurse midwife at home; and no hospitalization unless she has a high risk pregnancy. Those countries have wonderful healthy birth rates. You should first factor in the risks involved. Like, have you had previous normal pregnancys? What is your delivery style/pain thresh-hold? (I am a screamer, personally but I can do natural birth) How close to a hospital are you incase something does go wrong? Even though professional nurse midwives can offer much help, a hospital can still do more for a birth where the mother or child is in danger. Granted this is a rare occurance. And I am so sick of doctors treating pregnancy like some disease that needs treatment instead of a common, normal, healthy, every day miracle! But just use your freedom to choose responsibly.
