I have had several homebirths and they don’t have to be messy. Sometimes medications are needed which doctors and a lot of midwives carry with them. You don’t need an IV, shots work just as well. What people don’t understand is a lot of issues don’t “happen” when a women is in her home station. We are so programmed by the system and media that there is no other safe alternative, so women are afraid of birthing at home. I am afraid of hospitals. It is so much more in line with Torah values to give birth at home, in a modest fashion without all the world to see. I have had complications at home, B’H all my children lived. My mother-in-law wasn’t so lucky when they killed her baby in a hospital, and apologized saying mistakes happen. My aunt has permanent brain damage induced by her physician, in a hospital – avoidable if the physician was trained properly. Life and death are in Hashem’s hands but women should do their due diligence, don’t just do what everyone else is doing.
