wow, I can't believe that you put this on a marijuana-based web site! How "Classy" like your name. Its people like you who inspire me to do dumb things.
I'm surprised someone with your demeanor hasn't been banned from here yet.. LOL.. contrary to what society would like to impose on us, marijuaina users are all types of REGULAR people with lives the don't just revolve around getting high.. RIU is a community to those who come heres a lot, causing 'friendships' to blossom, having a child is something you share with friends.. Another thing quite funny, my name is tongue and cheek, the real meaning for milf is "mothers in liberty forever' it's an inside joke with a ground of friends, if others take it to mean something else.. well.. LOL..
Please keep your rude negativity far away from my threads thank you..
Just be careful and see a doctor. My girlfriend did an at home birth without any assistance and she had major problems. Her baby was breech and the chord wrapped around her neck and she died. Totally preventable with prenatal care.
It is cool that you researched it and are thinking about doing it! If I could do it all over again I would of had my children at home too.
Milf did a great job but I am pretty sure she followed all precautions. She is a smart cookie.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend sunny.. we did make all precautions, and a HELL of a lot of research went into our decision, we were prepared to deal with a surprise breech birth or cord wrapped around the neck for example.. there are certainly circumstances that warrant hospital and doctor intervention of which we were also aware of and prepared for..
but another side of things I noted was that even if you're in a hospital, even if you took all the precautions, bad results can always happen.. babies still die in hospitals, some from unneeded intervention as well..
For me, personally, I took responsibility for my birth, good or bad, and if something rare that we wouldn't have had enough time to transfer for would have happened, honestly, I would have rather been left to grieve in my own way alone holding my baby. I would have had to live with my decision and work through that.... Too many people seem to want a guarantee and put blame on others for their health care decisions.. another reason our health care system is such a mess, rampant lawsuits..
But as I said before.. I wouldn't tell anyone to do what I did.. but I do encourage everyone having a child to do some research, you may be surprised what you learn.. only when you are educated about your choices and the ramifications of those choices can you make an informed decision on what is best for YOU.. go with what resonates best with YOU...
I will say this though, LOL.. my placenta wasn't sold to be made into anti wrinkle cream, and my baby's cord blood is in her body where if belongs, not be sold also for a profit.. no DNA for any database was collected from my baby and she wasn't pricked and prodded in her arrival to this side.. the only hands laid on her during that amazing time was loving hands of family.. Ok, I'm gonna hush up now.. I'm seriously still in such awe of her amazing birth.. I DID IT!
