@yungerman – why do you find it hard to believe? They were non-hospital births and that was the protocol – and I *wanted* to go home. My pregnancies were all normal and low risk. There was no reason for me to go to a hospital and I was quite confident in the ability of my midwives. They have mechanisms in place if something unexpected happens, and I was comfortable with them.
When you get pregnant, you can choose your birth plan. Til then, stay out of mine.
