Website for Truths about Homebirths.
I found this website after seeing a local news broadcast stating that Hospital Births are overall safer than Home Births, which is total crap and people should do their research before making judgment about Home Births. Granted our birth of Scott ended up being unassisted birth (meaning no medical professional present), I felt so much more comfortable and confident about being at home delivering him versus having a constant pressure when I delivered WES and MacKenna.

Midwife Appointment 4/29
My appointment went well, Scott is positioned posterior, head down, NOT engaged. Scott has extra fluids in there considering I'm measuring 40 weeks but, they said because he isn't engaged that maybe why he is measuring bigger he really is since there is NO other issues to say otherwise. As it stands right now the goal is to get May 17th (37 week mark since the other two were 37 weekers) OBVIOUSLY, the longer the better and we are just taking small steps now because my personal goal would be to get to his actual due date. And no, I didn't have GBS test nor am I going to have it done since the other two pregnancies it was negative.
Plus, there was a photographer student there today and apparently he is doing a documentary on midwifery/homebirths in this area and since this is my 3rd birth both him and my midwives asked if I would like to participate in it. I course of think it is AWESOME because one it gets the word about midwifery/homebirths, two we get the a full photo documention of Scott's labor/birth, and three we are helping a student in further his education/understanding of natural birth.
