I loved both my midwife experiences, during prenatal care and labor and even in the months afterwards. The care and attention midwives provide far surpasses any hospital experience I have ever had. I would never go back to mainstream hospital care, especially for giving birth and every chance I get I recommend home birth. In fact, I'd go so far as to say any environment is better and safer than the hospital for birthing. Does that sound crazy? Maybe, but it is the cold, hard truth.
