Absolutely a beautiful story of nature, natural and love. I had my first 3 babies in hospitals, all with complications caused BY the hospital I later learned. My last 2 were delivered at home by their father and I can't express what a difference that made. The first 3 all required stitches, a very long drawn out unnecessary suffering let me tell you. The last 2, the biggest babies BTW, there was no tearing and no stitches required.

I can't express enough how women choosing hospital births are missing one of the most blessed events compared to home births. My advise to any expecting parents is to do what you did @samstonehill , research and talk to those that have delivered naturally and research some more.

Resteeming so others are informed that they really do have a choice!
