Advantages: medical team on standby if needed

Disadvantages: lacking in personal touch

When i found out i was pregnant and the doctor asked where i wanted to have my baby i was thinking - in a hospital as quickly as possible. I hadn't considered any other option however whilst pregnant i thought about a homebirth. With it being my first and me not beeing too sure about what was about to happen to me i thought i would have a hospital birth this time. I wanted to keep my options open and my god i am pleased i did. I only needed gas and air which i could have had at home but after i bleed a lot and there was lots of things being done to me - this wouldn't have happened at home and it would have been a rush to the hospital. I am soo pleased that all the doctors were available to help. It was scary enough without haveing to get to hospital to get treatment!

The midwifes were lovely and calming and though they didn't talk me through what was happening they told me the main things and this was all i needed to know! I had thought that it was going to be horrible and you hear other peoples horror stories about their experiences but i have to say it was no where near as bad as i thought it would be!

Summary: don't think i will even think about a homebirth again!
