My home is not a place I would have felt really comfortable giving birth. Also we could not afford a midwife and I am just not the unassited birthing type. :) I don't have enough confidence in myself for that. hehe. I want someone there who knows more than I do. With my next child I plan on either being at home or in a birthing center and having a water birth. During both of my labors I spent hours in the small cramped leaky tub they had in the room. I know I would love a big warm birthing tub. I also plan on learning more and being prepared for the various things that could go wrong (I was prepared for many things but the meconium issue somehow escaped me). I'll also probably find some method to help me learn to relax more. I took Bradley with number one but it didn't work well for me. I am incrediably tense. Yup, I love talking birth. :)
