Why would anyone expect that they would?

to reduce the trauma and unexpected nature of birth. I'm not surprised that
overall it makes no difference, but each case should be considered
individually, because that is what women are, individuals. For me this means
staying out of the hospital, I won't hesitate to say post natal depressions
and post traumatic stress disorder if beforehand anyone comes up with any
reasons why I shouldn't birth at home.
