Anyone facing a possible medical induction should definitely try it first! I think using acupressure is a great alternative to having a medical induction using Pitocin.

By rejecting insurances based on such issues, the companies are not helping improve maternal health. This is not good. Its startling to know that more than half a million women die in pregnancy and childbirth every year - that's one death every minute. There is a way in which individuals like me can contribute. I came across this community on orkut http://www.orkut.co.in/Community.aspx?cmm=47234928 which is related to UN's campaign against poverty of which Maternal health is one of the 8 major goals. people who want more information about the campaign can visit the link given.

Congrats on the move...sorry it was such a difficult process for you guys!! Hopefully things have settled down now!! Glad to see you back. By the way, I finally had my long awaited homebirth! And unassisted (intentional, although no one knows that! LOL) at that! I was an amazing God filled experience! Wow! Congrats on the move…sorry it was such a difficult process for you guys!!

I feel very blessed to live in a town with a great maternity ward. Almost all of your advantages for homebirth can happen in this ward. The mom is allowed to labour how she pleases(they encourage walking around) and deliver how she pleases. The baby rooms in with the mother and you are encouraged to hold your newborn right away and breastfeed. They also encourage a 'drug free' delivery and only administer pain killers if the mother requests it. I have had all 5 of my babies there(I'm currently pregnant with #6) and they never left my sight the whole time I was at the hospital. My husband was very much a part of the labour and delivery, helping to 'catch' the baby and cut the cord. I could've had whom ever I wished in the delivery room(but I only wanted my hubby!). I was never woken up to be checked on and I slept with my baby in my bed. A couple of my deliveries needed medical intervention(one baby was breech) and I was thankful to be in a hospital. Maybe my experience is rare, I am in Canada, but maybe there are other wards like this one. I just wanted to share my experience! Hi there,
