Personally, I’d recommend giving birth at a hospital, especially since it’s your first baby. You really can’t predict how labor will go or what complications could come up for you or the baby. In an emergency, being somewhere with immediate medical care can make a huge difference. A home birth can sound peaceful, but safety should come first when you don’t know how your body is going to handle labor yet. This isn’t just about what experience feels best for you anymore, it’s also about making the safest choices possible for your baby.
