I am having my second baby in a hospital after a bad experience with a freestanding birth center (postpartum hemmhorage, partially seperated placenta, 4 manual removals... very scary!) I just wanted to let you know I included a few of your posts on my blog and hope that's okay :)<br />http://thehealthshock.com/2015/06/03/why-i-decided-against-home-birth/<br />(In this post)<br />Chelsiehttp://www.thehealthshock.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923885836586206729.post-91139636808284231942014-01-22T14:12:35.450-08:002014-01-22T14:12:35.450-08:00There is another blog post I wrote about unexpecte...There is another blog post I wrote about unexpected labor complications and a few women shared stories of needing to be sectioned immediately and their babies were born in less than 4 minutes.<br /><br />Regardless, being at home only adds more time on the clock. A baby in need of a life saving cesarean section will certainly not get the c-section faster if the mother is at home vs if she is already in the hospital. That was something very eye opening to me as a birth: the transfer time. It's one thing to say "our house is so close to the hospital" and another to be in the moment with an emergency transfer.... when a mother in labor gets to a hospital, even if she is pre-registered it still takes time before the baby can be delivered. They have to do their own monitoring and such before they can take action like performing a c-section.

We are at a major urban teaching hospital tho - can't vouch for others but just wanted to note it!
