This week is national unassisted homebirth week - good luck with that one! I would not want my child’s birth to be unassisted but that is just me and quite frankly I would not want it to be in my home. I would much prefer and rather have a birth in a hospital with professionals around to help me get through it. Especially if it is your first child…I just wouldn’t want to be alone doing it by myself … even though your do do it by yourself.
