when you have a home birth you are supposed to have a nurse or a mid wife there many things could go wrong if they go wrong in the hospital they can go wrong at home and be fatal i suggest if you choose to have a home birth have a nurse or mid wife there but i would suggest go to the hospital

I don't know why you think this is a good choice. Having a baby at home without any medical assistance is a thing of the past. And with good reason! It is too dangerous for you and your baby. Is your husband medically trained? What would you do if your baby came breech, or feet first? What if the baby had the cord wrapped around its neck? What if the baby is too large and you need an emergency C-section? What if the baby is born and is not breathing? What if you hemorrhage? Have I made my point? You would never forgive yourself if something happened to your baby, so don't chance it. Please tell me you've had pre-natal care with your baby, because it sounds like you haven't! I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but as a nurse, I see many things go wrong, and if there is nobody there to help you and something happens to your baby, depending on where you live, you could be charged. You are not ready to be a parent if the first decision you make is to have a baby at home with absolutely no supervision. If you just want to have a baby at home, find yourself a midwife and fast!

Are you insane? Why on earth would you do that? You are risking your life and the baby's life.
Is there anyone else who can help you? Why do you not want to go to a hospital? Is it because you don't have insurance? They can't turn you away. Please do not attempt to do this on your own!
You could bleed to death. The baby's heart could stop during the birth. The cord could get wrapped around his neck. He/she could become trapped in your pelvis, and you may need a c-section!

Have you completely lost your mind?? Have the baby at a hospital where there are competent professionals close at hand! Are you willing to risk the life of your child or your own??? My prayers are with you!

The best advice I can give you is to go to the hospital. Why are you doing this all alone?
