I tell you what. I have read a lot about home births but I can't say I ever wanted to have one. I handle pain well and don't want an epidural but the idea of having to clean up the mess yourself afterwards - well, yuck! If I go into labor i will just have to recognize it in time to make the nearest hospital (35 minutes) or the one I'm registered at (1hr 45min) OR I could wind up delivering in the car on this enormous bridge that is about an hour into the drive. If I make the newspaper I will let you all know!
