Would you ever deliver your baby at home? I know moms have been delivering babies since the beginning of time, way before hospitals, but you could you do it? Thoughts?

I think I would be too nervous. What if something happens? Being in a hospital with easy access to doctors and emergency care make me feel more comfortable.

I think being near doctors and nurses for the "just in case" moments, for both me and my baby, highly outweigh my "comfort" from being at home.

i think I would be so nervous thinking about the possibility of something going wrong that I would not be able to relax, plus I don't have an epidural on stand-by in my home..I think that it is certainly okay if you have a team of people around you who are capable to handle any emergency that might happen. My grandmother gave birth to all of her 10 children at home, with no pain medication.

I thought about it but I found a Dr that followed my wishes and BIRTH PLAN. I did it all natural. I was glad to be in a Hosp in case of emergency. Before Hospitals infant mortality rates were high. I felt more secure with help right there if my baby needed it.

The thought crossed my mind but I found a Dr who respected my wishes for my Birth Plan. I was glad to be in a hospital incase anything went wrong. I had a natural birth and have a beautiful baby girl. Before Hospitals infant mortality was high.

I gave birth to all five of my children by natural childbirth, but I did it in the hospital. I knew that I did not want a lot of intervention, but just in case something went wrong, I wanted to be where my baby and I could get help. For my third child, it really made the difference. Even though the hospitals where I gave birth were more used to prepared (Lamaze) childbirths rather than natural, I was very clear in my birthing plans and communicated what I wanted. It went very well and gave me the peace of mind that if something did go wrong, we were in the right place. :)

I am too afraid to attempt it. I wouldn't feel comfortable being in a non-hospital setting because I am too paranoid that something would go wrong.
