I am planning on having a baby withing 1-2 years. Sooner, if I can get everything in order. I just watched the video advocating home births, and it was great! I live in Chicago, and due to malpractice/liability I understand that it is not practiced here. I know that another poster had a home birth, and would appreciate some info. Cost, etc. Also, is it legal for me to have a home birth if I do use a midwife that is not licensed? Do I "register" actually giving birth? Any advice would be appreciated.
Also, some women have c-sections claiming that the belly will be flatter, birth will be easier, less chance of urinary incontenence later in life. What was your experience with that like?
I would love to hear both sides as well as other tips for pregnancy and labor.
Thanks!
