Where would you prefer to give birth?

Yesterday I found out that my cousin, who is 21, was born at home. All my aunt and uncles were born at home too.

hospital for sure!

more healthier i think and if anything my baby needs will be there for him/her :/
and if i needed any drugs i will find it there -_-

At a hospital. My daughter was born in an army hospital. My mom who is the oldest of 12 had all brothers and sisters born at home except for one.

Hospital ofcourse....

but were all of ur aunts born at home?? :D

hehehe something to talk about :p

^ so you'd like to give birth in a hospital? ok now i'm confused. i always thought you're a guy. :think:

Hospital for sure.

Hospital :hyper:

My God!!!
I am talking about my kids... y3ni ( I mean ) poping outta my wife duh!! :duh:

^ oh..alright. :D

Hospital. Better safe, than sorry.

What?! So no one wants to give birth at home on a table?!

I want to give birth in an airplane. I don't know, it just sounds cool. And I'm sure my child will thank me for it when they're all grown up and brag about how they were born in an airplane.

But that's because I always wished I was born in an airplane. Or a taxi. And since taxis can easily reach a hospital here, I thought an airplane would be more realistic.

^ and as I heared, you get to go on that airline for free all your life ..

but nah, I'd rather give birth at hospital .. extra care

my next birth (if at all) will be at home. most definitely. i'll have an ambulance parked behind my door just in case. hospital is only a two minute drive away anyway.

At hospital

More care, but nothing safe in giving birth, it is all up to Allah

At hospital, I want that injection, forgot what's it called.

epidural. i opted for gas and air. the more concious you are at birth, the more in control you are. at hospital i missed my other kid so much.

Most of our friends have given birth at home, with only a midwife present and no drugs. That's become more popular in America recently.

But we did it the "old fashioned way" at the hospital with a doctor! :p

Hospital. And I think I want a c-section.

This is freaky :(..

Oh I'd want a c-section too if it was an option...

some hospitals are better equipped in others.
i found hospital too cold. the people working there overworked, understaffed, overtired.
i was dying to go home in my big bed and my lovely pillow with my baby. having a shower in my own shower. here they keep you for three days for normal birth and 5 days or more for c-section. the second time round i signed myself out of hospital 'against doctor's instructions'...who wanted me to stay the full 3 days. i have my own doctor in my own street lol. at home my peadiatrician came round, my doctor came round, my mum was there busying herself with the dettol....
if i get pregnant again, i'm gonna give birth here on sabla. my computer, my mattress on the floor, candles everywhere, and i'll ask you to humour me during the contractions.

Where would you prefer to give birth?

Hospital ofcourse....

Good decision :XD:

not a bad idea actually .. the sabla drug will make me forget the pain :D

Hospital ofcourse

why is everybody going with the 'hospital' idea? i think having all your family around to welcome the new arrival, with a couple of great midwives assisting you, a doctor present, and paramedics behind the door would make it safe enough.
i'd only go to hospital again if i had a risky pregnancy. today midwives have mobile monitors, inflatable birthing pools, and mobile pain relief methods (non invasive..such as the 'tens' machine). i'd love to have my music around, my fridge close by and my standards of cleanliness...not saying hospitals lack that, cos our local hospital is ultra modern and on the forefront of medicine..but i so want to do it at home. at hospital, while awaiting for your baby you are listening to other mothers screaming while giving birth....you puke in front of strangers...etc etc. one of my friends is a midwife, so i'll get her around. and i would want my other kids to be close by for support and for the experience.

I don't think you can hire a team of midwives and doctors to come to your house in Oman and help you deliver there... or I've never heard of anyone do that.

Also, you can get a private room in the hospital; you don't have to share with other women giving birth.

over here all labour suites are private too....but one suite next to each other you hear the screams all the same..no soundproofing is good enough for the labour pains.

as to the team..over here you can get a midwife who works privately and i'm sure private doctors (your local gp) can be available. it's the best thing to happen to a woman, and i reckon the home is the best thing for a baby to be born. obviously, if there are no complications..forceps and cs's..

I would to give birth at the hospital, just because there would be a backup, if I had any complication while delivering.

At hospital.
I always have this i'm not gonna have an easy labor or delivery.

home was the old days i guess..

i prefer hospital 4 sure.. its better care n cleaner.. n there r doctors if i needed anything..

iv always wanted a C-section.. until i saw my find's tummy.. she had it.. its not pretty.. n it takes a longer time to heal..

At hospital injected with epidural. I don't want a C-section though!

If I had a choice I would love a midwife. Nothing like that kind of personal service. When I gave birth in an Army hospital was difficult only because the nursing staff were a little on the strict side. Much prefer a midwife.

I dont know anyone who gave birth at home, I've seen videos, its quite interesting. I will give it a think about. But I'll probably go with the hospital option.

I've never ever considered giving birth at home. I think it is just too risky :os

I don't know anyone who had their birth at home. In the west, it seems to be common that people hire midwives and feel more comfortable. In Oman, I think it is much better for a woman to deliver the baby in a hospital under the supervision of a medical team.
