Yes, it's always good to hear what other mothers thinks, it may sounds wierd although that's how I gained my experience from listening rather than judging others if you have some advice I'll be happy to hear it All the best Uri |

Given that this is a question that only your wife can answer, I wonder why you post it here. Personally I was "more relaxed and calm" in the hospital when having both my kids, but if your wife feels "more relaxed & calm" at home then good on her. Its her decision. Perhaps if you'd asked those who'd given birth in hospital AND at home about their personal experiences, it might actually be an interesting discussion and provide you with some useful information.

Perhaps if you'd asked those who'd given birth in hospital AND at home about their personal experiences, it might actually be an interesting discussion and provide you with some useful information. I have had 2 in the hospital and 1 at home, and my homebirth was the greatest, most peaceful birth of the three. In my home I wasn't required to do what was best for the OB or nurses, and I could do what I needed to feel comfortable, and eat and drink what and when I wanted. I could say whatever, dress however, and push in whatever position I wanted. I attended the birth of my cousin just last month, and I found not much has changed since my last hospital birth. The mom was not "allowed" to eat, to change position(baby monitor had to be on at all times, they would not come in and check the baby every hour or so), blood pressure cuff had to be on at all times (the mom even ripped it off herself because it was irritating her, and the nurse was very insistent about her wearing it) I was very disappointed that giving birth is still so controlled. The mom was not a pushover, either. She was very clear on what she wanted. And the poor girl had to go over 20 hours with no food simply because she was in labor. She was so hungry and weak by the time she started pushing she was crying from being so hungry. On that point she was a pushover, because I tried to offer her some crackers but she wouldn't eat them because the nurse told her she couldn't. Marie |

I could say whatever, dress however, and push in whatever position I wanted. This is pretty much how I had my second hospital birth - I ate what I wanted, drank what I wanted, laboured how I wanted and had a great midwife with me the whole time. I remember being very relaxed about everything and even bird watching from the window at one stage (local hospital backs on to bushland). But then I understand that the "hospital system" in Australia may be very different to what others experience. I attended the birth of my cousin just last month, and I found not much has changed since my last hospital birth.

I wanted my wife to give birth in a hospital so if anything goes wrong, there was a team of people and equipment ready for her and our son. Some advice from one guy to another. Don't be there for the birth. You're better off in the waiting room or outside the labor room. Regards... |

I see your point, but given the original question was about where the *mother* felt "more relaxed and calm", it is really *her* decision. |

Not if he doesn't feel relaxed and calm about the health and safety of his wife and child. I'm sure my wife would object to me staying home rather than working because I feel relaxed and calm at home. Regards |
