I wanted a homebirth for exactly the same reasons as Emma. The thought of bringing my healthy baby boy into the world in a place for the sick and dying seemed wrong. Unfortunately, Luke did end up being born by c-section in the hospital after more than twenty hours of labour at home. I am so glad that I tried for a homebirth and still feel sad that it wasn't able to happen. Because of the c-section I wasn't the first person to hold my son and he came into this world at a moment when I felt terrified. It was not the birth I had hoped for but the c-section saved Luke's life. I am grateful for the medical intervention because I know that it was neccessary.
