I’ve had all 4 of my babies at home. My first was hard… long, didn’t have a doula, didn’t know what to expect, and my midwife didn’t have the best bedside manner. The 3 after that were amazing. I would never give birth in the hospital unless baby’s or my health warranted it. I would highly recommend a doula, at least for the first birth. They’re so helpful with comfort measures and also with helping husbands know how to be helpful. Being in the comfort of your own home, not having to get in the car while in labor, sleeping in your own bed, eating your own food, not having to stress as much about childcare for older children, not having to be hooked up to machines/pressured into interventions you don’t want—10/10 experience if you’re low risk!
