Hi, I'm Cat, wife of Al.  Our Father in Heaven has graciously loaned us six dear and lively little blessings, all born at home:  Josiah (1992) who was a 43 weeker, Verity (1993), Keren (1995), who had a twice-wrapped nuchal cord & who was guided safely out by her daddy, Paul (1998) another 43 weeker, Alasdair Seth (2002) big boy born in a homebirth unfriendly state but with many homebirth friendly people, and Claire Sephra (2003), who was born in a travel trailer and whom I affectionately call my little trailer princess.  Glory & honor, power & strength be to God, who gave us his only begotten son, Jesus, that we might have eternal life. Mark 16:16.  His eye is on the sparrow, and He will provide.  My grandmother was one of 14 children all born at home without a midwife in the backwoods of North Idaho.

My daughter Yeva was born peacefully at home on February 29, 2004.  8 lbs. 14 oz. and a 10 hour labor that seemed more like a 10 hour party!  My kids, husband, mom, sister and best friend were all there along with my midwife and doula.
 
From the beginning of my pregnancy (my third) I knew I wanted to do it differently.  I read a few books (American Way of Birth, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, Spiritual Midwifery) and tried desperately to convince my husband (his first child).
I ended up going to the same (hospital based) CNMs that delivered my other two - both to make my husband happy and to save money (it was virtually free due to my insurance).
 
At 33 weeks, my OB/GYN practice announced that they were laying off all of the midwives.  I was so upset.  I told my husband I was not going to a doctor, and that there were no other CNMs in my town at all and none anywhere who took my insurance.  So, I did serious research into fining a home birth midwife. I also hired an OB who I only went to once!  His threats were too much for me.  I found a wonderful, like-minded midwife and hired a doula as well.  They work together often and made the most wonderful team.
 
My husband stated that very day that he was so happy it worked out like it did and that he would never want it any other way.  Neither would I.  The most empowering experience I've ever had.
 
I'm a registered nurse who works in a hospital.  I'm looking into becoming a home birth midwife or maybe a doula to start.

Hi!  My name is Rachel O’Brien and I, too, was born at home, along with 10 of my 11 siblings.  From 1978 until 1996 my Mother gave birth in her own home after the traumatizing experience of giving birth to her first in a hospital.  We are all healthy and happy and thankful for this! 


My own father and all of his other 5 siblings(1930's & 1940's) were born at home on the farm.  I birthed 5 of my own children at home(1986 thru 2002) and will birth any future children at home also. 

Nicholas Benuska(birthing center w/CNM's, I consider almost like home)
Christopher Benuska - home w/CNM's
Katrina Benuska - home w/DEM's
Samuel Benuska - home w/DEM's
Olivia Benuska-Archer - home unassisted waterbirth
Any future Archer babies will be at home, more than likely unassisted waterbirths

Owen C.Wagner was born at home Nov 11, 91 in NC, USA (8lbs)
Morgan F. Wagner was born at home Dec 29, 95 in SC, USA.(8lbs, 5oz)

Jacob Haasch was born at home 6 days after EDD, on 11/7/01. Labor took 1  hour 32 minutes. He weighed 10 lbs and was posterior and had his cord  around his shoulder. He arrived about 10 minutes before our midwives, so he was welcomed into the world by his daddy's hands in our birth pool, with his oldest brother close by. He was beautifully pink and had great tone,
but was so peaceful that the only time he cried was about a hour later when the midwife tried to weigh him. He stopped again as soon as he was back in my arms.

Caleb Haasch
was born at home, 4 days after his LMP-established EDD, on 12/30/03. Labor was 1 hour and 3 minutes, arriving more than 20 minutes before our midwife. He came into the world into both his mommy's and daddy's hands in the water, with his big sister watching and two older brothers near by. He was absolutely perfect in every way, weighing in at 9 lbs. 8 oz.


I was not technically born at home, but in the back of an ambulance, at a red light on the way to the hospital, with my grandmother (midwife) in attendance. They turned around and went back to my grandma’s house where, incidentally,  my  sister was born while I watched 14 months later!  Grandma had attended most of our county’s births.  The family tells me that many of those she did not know she was attending until someone knocked at the door in the middle of the night, very often the country doc who knew he was out of his league and Minnie was the expert, would be the one at the door asking for her assistance! She had a reputation for being able to revive “blue babies” and babies the doc had given up on, she would not!  She was the baby saver!!!!!!

Three of my 4 children were born at home and three of my four grandchildren were born at home.  And I hope that many more are added to that number!

Lovely, gentle, NORMAL births.



I was born at home (1965, in England) as was my brother (1962) to my wonderfully aware RN mum, midwife assisted. My first child was born in hospital (1997)  Aghhh!!!! but we survived and learnt. My daughter was born at home 11 weeks ago (26.12.2003). Rhianna Jane Gloria was delivered, through water, by my partner and I, with the love and support of our wonderful (spiritual) midwife Jane and mutual friend and kinesiologist, Lyn. Birth as it is meant to be! A natural, loving process, not a disease to managed.
