Home Birth: yes or no?

Would you have a home birth? Do you believe it is safe? Would you risk your child life (and your own)?

When I think about home birth, if I only think about myself I have to agree with it. It must be much more comfortable, much less stressful, and much more respectful for the mothers time, ideas, pain. You are at your own home, with a trained midwife. Chances are everything will go well and you will have a great labour experience...

BUT what if there is a complication? One no one saw before? One that just happened in that moment and the baby needs to go to the emergency room to be saved? The time spent taking him to the nearest hospital is fatal, and the baby dies... Would you forgive yourself? Do you risk it?

When considering the mother's comfort and the baby's safety, I'll always choose the baby's safety... ALWAYS. If that means that I have to endure a stressful and painful experience, with a lot of medical intervention that I consider unnecessary and excessive, I will. My child safety, comfort and life will always be my priority.
