My bi...I REALLY want a homebirth with the next one. My birth with Lily (in the hospital with midwives even) was SO not what I wanted. I ended up being induced, put on pitocin, antibiotics, and then the epidural (which they added fentanyl to "help me sleep" w/o explicit disclosure or permission). GRRRRRRR. I didn't want an induction or an epidural. I didn't want an IV (and was assured it wasn't "routine" except it totally was). I was bothered at least every 30 mintues by a nurse who would get pissy when she couldn't get a good hearrate from Lily when I was in the middle of a fucking prepidil induced contraction. <BR/><BR/>It was a nightmare. We weren't cleared to go until 36hrs pp. We left at 36hrs 1min pp, at 11p. <BR/><BR/>The thing is... my insurance... she is crappy. The insurance only covered the midwives because they did some creative billing (sharing a clinic with OBs etc). I have fabulous lay midwives here who will do homebirths, but my insurance would NOT cover it. I told dave we need to start saving now (especially if i'm pregnant *fingers crossed* -- i'll find out in a week). heh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
