"My homebirth experience was truly amazing. I felt so comfortable and safe in my own environment - getting to labor and birth in the water surrounded by the people I chose to be there. There was no pressure or timelines. I would not want to do it any other way, and am grateful to have the luxury of homebirth as a safe option. I hope I can have the next ten at home, too! ;) "
-Macy, Homebirth Mom
"As a husband who desired for my wife to experience the best labor and birth possible, it was truly remarkable to have this special event unfold in the safety, familiarity, and comfort of our own home, surrounded by cherished family members and trusted professionals."
"I used to think it was weird, but after I learned more about it, I realized it's just another option. We learned so much, and it's been empowering for us as parents. Choosing homebirth was a great decision."
- Jason, Homebirth Dad
"My husband brought up homebirth eary in our relationship, and I was like, 'You want me to do what?' I just educated myself and trusted in the Lord, and he has seen me through five peaceful births at home; I wouldn't do it any other way!"
-Bri, Homebirth Mom
"Having had quite a variety of birth stories including a home birth, I have to say that there is something special about giving birth in your own home. I had my favorite hymn on the wall, my children were asleep in the next room, I had people surrounding me and supporting me who knew what I cared about and cared about the process as much as me. I was able to relax more and had less anxiety. I labored and birthed in a familiar, comfortable space that was lovingly prepared - not filled with sterile environs or strangers." - Emily, Homebirth Mom
"I have had three births. The first one was in the hospital… I could say a lot about that delivery, but in short, it wasn't good. My second birth was a home birth. […We chose] an unassisted home birth. My husband delivered our son... That was actually my favorite of all of my births… Everything happened in its own time and my body just did what nature told it to do. By [my third birth] we figured out how the [midwifery system in Maryland] worked, and we got in contact with the one legal midwife. My husband was so grateful to have help with that one! He was okay delivering the previous baby, but it was a relief to him to have somebody there who knew what they were doing. I delivered a 10lb 13oz baby in the comfort of my own home with only about five pushes. My advice is the same advice my Mama gave me: birth standing up! Gravity does magic! It's just amazing what our bodies will do on their own when given the chance." - Twyla, Homebirth Mom
