my son (2nd home birth) was also born with a caul, interested by your photos.  The midwife advanced with one of those crochet hook things (after we had so carefully thrown out all the ones in the pack she left!) a very firm 'no' got rid of the one at the birth :o)

Ladies and Gentlemen:
     I am 16 years old and was born at home.  My name is
Franklyn B. Molina, Jr.

Thank you.


You may not know this, but there are millions of people, in the so called "third-world" countries, that were and are born at home.  That includes me and all of my brothers and
sisters.  Do not add my name to you list.  Could you tell me the significant of this issue.

Thanks

Both my children were planned homebirths. My first born was however a surprise breech baby and was delivered by ceasarian.  My second child was successfully delivered into water during a wonderful labour at home. So please add my son Jasper Tolkien Pearce to your list.  As I am pregnant again and planning on having another waterbirth, I may soon be adding another to your list.

Sincerely yours, Jane Yeates.

These are my children born at home.  My two older ones were born in hospital, one in a conventional hospital delivery and one in a birthing center inside a hospital.  I have just had the privilege of assisting with the births of my second and third grandchildren.

Greetings:  What a wonderful website.  I had my second child after 11 years when I was 40, and unlike his "techno birth" brother back in l985, he was born at home

INDIGO NELSON JONES
born on the 6th of August 1999.
First baby for Samantha and Tyson Jones.
We planned a homebirth after disgusting treatment at the local hospital.
Then we met Cathy and Nigel from Birthing hands. Two wonderful midwives with plenty of love and encouragement. After a 20 hour labour, Indigo was born into his fathers waiting arms on our living room floor. we will never be the same again.

My three children were all born at home:
    Lucas Keith Hergert 4/14/82 weighed 10'4".
    Benjamin Keith Hergert 6/25/85 weighed 10'15".
    Marita Susanna Hergert 9/11/88 weighed 8'11'.
Their births were indeed the peak experiences for my life.

My two children, Yan and Mia Bourke were born at home in Dublin Ireland on January 29th 1988 and May 25th  1990 respectively. They were both born with the caul, I've kept them both, one preserved in surgical spirits one I dried out and keep in a kitchen drawer!  The two births were brilliant unforgettable experiences.
