Homebirth was re: Wise Traditions - GAPS

[Guest guest]

,

Thank you so much for sharing your story - it was absolutely wonderful

to read about your homebirth!

I have been thinking of homebirth, as I have a few major concerns

about the hospital: the two main ones are the pathogens and the

unfamiliarity of the place causing undue stress on me. I hate

hospitals, fluorescent lights, cold rooms, etc. Just about everything

I will have to endure in the hospital! No wonder some women clam up

and can't deliver...

I also have concerns about my directions regarding cord cutting (I

want something much like what you got at your homebirth), immediate

breastfeeding, no supplemental feedings (for some reason, I expect

this one to be a big issue), vaccinations and rooming-in. It really

sounds like a homebirth would be much more likely to meet my

specifications - I'm afraid if I do give birth at the hospital that I

won't have the energy to keep the hospital folks in line!

Thanks again for sharing, I really appreciate hearing about how well

it went for you. I'm going to check into the details of it (insurance

wise, mainly).
