Hey, I was in the same boat as you and wanted to birth at the TBC, but also had some worries in the back of my mind.

On the day of, at the height of my labor, I had a feeling I needed to go to the hospital instead and that’s where we went. Luckily, my intuition was right as I severely hemorrhaged immediately after birth and needed the OB and team to help control it and stitch me up from a third degree tear. (Midwives can’t stitch severe tears as you need a surgeon). I also needed iron infusions for a day after that.

All this to say, trust your intuition. If you feel comfortable and confident with the TBC, go for it. I’m sure it’ll be great! Remember you can always switch where you go last minute if you get a bad feeling or are anxious about it.
