    I've had two homebirths, I've also had hospital births. Homebirth is by far the most amazing birthing experience. I am so grateful I had these experiences and would do it all over again.

    I am a home birth grandma! Was there for 4 of my born-at-home grandchildren and it was a wondrous and beautiful thing. I'm an RN and thought I wanted to be a midwife so I went around with the local midwife and my teenage daughter (who definitely wanted to be a midwife). I decided I was too medical to handle the pressures when things didn't go well so changed my mind about becoming a midwife, but loved attending my daughter's homebirths X4. Now she will be homebirthing TWINS this summer!

    Cool lens! I'm planning a homebirth for our 3rd baby who is due in Oct. I watched The Business of Being Born and have done a lot of reading and researching about this. Should be interesting since the other 2 were in hospitals with epidurals!! :)

    I envy you. I had problems, so they said that it was a good thing I was in the hospital, but who knows if I would have had them at home. But I don't know if I would have been brave enough or certainly not the second time.

    My older daughter got to watch.

    She was 8 years old. It left a wonderful, lasting impression of the birth of her baby sister. I think it has made them especially close.

Joan's first baby was not born at Kaiser Bellflower, and her second baby was not born at King/Drew in Los Angeles.
