Chris, Thank you so much for posting yours and Carmen’s story. It brought a lot of old and more recent home birth memories back.
Like your cousin, I had my daughter at home. When my daughter grew up and was ready to have her own baby she chose a well known birthing center. When her water broke and the baby didn’t come, she went to the hospital where they scheduled a C-Section. But for some reason they continued to wait and as a result, my daughter contracted an infection. It was pretty scary. The baby was born with the infection and had to remain in the nicu for 3 weeks.
It just goes to show with all the planning, study and expense you can go through nothing is certain. We must cherish every moment we have.
