If you still want birth stories, here are mine. They are home birth stories from when I still lived in the Netherlands. Aug 14 1993. Both of my kids were born at home.
Home birth is a lot more common in the Netherlands than it is in the States.
Here in the States every one seems to assume that of course you will give birth in the hospital. The pre- and postnatal care system is very good. When you have a normal pregnancy and birth you will have a midwife. The midwife screens you for signs of complications and if you have complications you have to use an obstetrician. With a low-risk birth, you can choose whether you want to birth at home or in the hospital.
