Have
you stopped driving a car, or being a passenger? Awful things do happen, and
sometimes they aren't predictable. Even with hospital and birth centre births
things happen. You will see awful things in hospital, a lot due to
mismanagement and interventions. Ponder deeply, pray and
talk. Maureen

Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] FW: Birthcentre/ homebirthHi Nat,When I was doing my mid training my preceptor and I used to talk about the 'obstetric demons' that sometimes come and sit on your shoulder!! But if you look into the research on homebirth you will find that in healthy women, the outcomes are comparable or better than hospital birth. As others have said, it's where you feel most comfortable that counts. I recently had an email from Sarah Buckley in which she said the same thing..... wherever the woman chooses to birth that makes her feel the safest will promote endorphin release, normal labour etc.All the bestMichelle

Subject: Birthcentre/ homebirthHi,I'm a mid student in my last year and 20 weeks pregnant.I'm planning a homebirth, but since being present at a horrific labour which culminated in the woman having a hysterectomy and two days intubated in ICU following severe bleeding post partumly. Im having second thoughts.I was honoured to be present at my best friends water birth monday night in a birth centre. I'm thinking that maybe I should go that way, as there is back-up.I would like some professional opinions please.Cheers Nat
