At home births?
So I comment on a thread earlier today about also not enjoying my birth experience. Well hubby and I are disscussing the idea of having baby #2 and that is probably why I have been so consumed lately with my displeasurable birthing experience. I've really wanted to give birth my second time around at a birthing center but there is not one anywhere near me. Soooo....I've been flirting around with the idea of an at home birth. Now, I use to be completely against this idea prior to my first birth but now I am warming up to the idea. I'm still just very nervous about it.
I have a ton of questions and really want to know who has done this and how was your experience.
So some of my ?'s:
Do they take insurance or do u have to pay out of pocket?
If out of pocket approx. How much is it?
If I choose I need some type of pain management..is there an option or am I stuck with natural ( I really want a natural birth but want a back up plan too lol)
I tore internally VERY bad with my son...are they trained in sewing up difficult cases (ik maybe a dumb question)
My son had jaundice and had to spend 24 hrs under the lights...how do they check for that at home and if the new LO had it would we have to go to hospital for phototherapy?
I labored for 18ish hours and had intervention (pitocin and my water broken). How long at home am I allowed to labor before they want to intervene?
Do they ever give pitocin at home births?
I was positive for strep b.....do they give antibiotics in the home?
Do u go to the pediatricians office right away or how does that work?
Circumcisions ...are the done at the home or would you have to go to the pediatricians office for that?
As you can see I have a ton of questions and I'm just tryng to see if this is the right option for me! Any advice or personal stories are greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

So I'm just curious what the push for a CPM is. I mean is it just the obviously...that they are more about no intervention and they were trainer only in home birth settings?
