Just a heads up to others. I looked into this. If you don’t do home birth first time, and are not careful, you may never be able to do home birth.

Why? C-section is the method of choice for many Doctors. It helps them reduce liability (to be fair in USA we are land of the lawsuit), plus it helps they get to charge your insurance a bit more.

Not too much wrong with this. Fairly harmless so far. Except. Recovery takes much longer. Oh and if you get a C-section once, they will 100% recommend you get a C-section for the next kid. One overly cautious Dr leads to a lifetime subscription of C-sections. They practically tell you it’s required because it was done the first time, regardless of circumstances.

Not hating on C-sections. Just like I don’t hate medical masks. I only hate unnecessary ones.
