The hospital proponents quite rightly point to the benefits of being there to give birth when complications arise

But for most low risk pregnancies, not being in hospital can be far better to avoid the cascade of interventions

No drugs > No tools > No c-section

Means faster recovery for the mother, and a naturally born baby, which additional benefits for the baby

If you have appropriate support then yes I get that.

My Wife’s given birth 3 times in hospital with good result. In saying that it’s been in a country hospital which helps a lot.

Great! Well done to you and your wife. Ultimately it’s all about the more babies, however you get it to work

I’m doing my best to repopulate 😂

Would love 4 but I think it’s going to be a stretch

My wife and just talking about a 4th… they’re 5/3/1 now, so if going to go for it, would need to be in next 6 months

😜

Mine are 3, 21 months and 6 weeks old. If we’re going again we need to do go at the 18 month gap again. We’re getting too old 😂😂
