    My midwife failed me. My first birth experience was a planned home birth turned hospital birth due to a cervical lip that wouldn’t budge until the car ride to the hospital. I agonized at a 9.5cm for 6+ hours. Contractions were every 60 seconds lasting 60-90seconds for the duration of 6+ hours and after screaming bloody murder for the last 2 hours I said I need to go to the hospital. 10 minutes in the hospital and baby was born, however it was very traumatic. I tore up, tore my labias and clit off and needed to be put under right after birth due to the tear / repairs needed. As soon as we got to the hospital I had 4 nurses holding me down, one at each limb, and the Dr at the end telling me to push as fast and hard as possible. I know the Dr did this because I came in screaming like a banshee and she knew the quickest way out of my misery was for baby to be born. But it happened much too fast. Baby was only in the birth canal for 3 contractions and normally they are in the birth canal for 30min-2 hours.
    After the birth my midwife apologized and said she should have made the call herself to take me to the hospital and should have done it 4 hours before I felt like I was going to die. I’m pregnant again and burnt. I hear these great stories and cry. I read all the books, drank the teas, paid for the homebirth/midwife and I was left with a terrible experience. An experience that left me feeling like my body failed me and I can’t do it again, but really my midwife failed me. Makes me very sad….😢

      I'm going to be going with OB route due to the fact that a midwife is someone that is somewhat trained but honestly I feel like it would be the same as welcoming in a stranger who didn't study fully to become a nurse or OBGYN and I don't want to risk someone coming into the picture and lying and saying everything is fine when it isn't! The fact that they don't tell when they are not fine is a big problem, you need to be honest even if it may scare them so they can make the choice for THEMSELVES. Isn't midwifery about bodily autonomy? You can't be truly autonomous if you are INCORRECTLY INFORMED. She should've said the truth and brought you to the hospital so you wouldn't suffer as much.
      I'm sorry this happened to you.

    My sister is currently having a home birth right now and I’m anxiously waiting news. It’s stressful after 2 of my 3 births were not straight forward. One sever shoulder dystocia resulting in an emergency delivery (5kg baby) and my third didn’t produce surfactant in his lungs so it was a rush to ICU when he pretty much stopped breathing.
    Neither of these scenarios could have been predicted and I can’t imagine being at home for these births.
    I have everything crossed for my sister!

      Hopefully your sister has talked these things through with her midwife and talked about protocols set in place! What a supportive sister you are!

    So true! I love how you pointed out that misconception of putting a hospital birth in a home birth setting. I also think all the preventative measures taken typically with home birth midwives make such a huge difference too! That should be the norm everywhere💕

    Thank you for all the info, it helps me even though I'm not in the US. I'm currently 9 months pregnant and preparing for my first home birth, my first birth was će cesearian and my second was hospital vbac.
    Home birth is illegal in my country - Bosnia and Herzegovina, but we have some midwives that attend home births even though they face multiple years in prison if they are cought doing it...
