My first was a home birth. I felt very relaxed, focused and it was a very peaceful experience. Yes there was pain but nothing I couldn´t handle, just the actual birth giving was very hard.
After my son was born I lost too much blood ( and my senses) so I was taken in hospital by ambulance, DH in shock. Everything turned out fine, with Ds2 I had to give birth in hospital for this reason. Was very confident, thinking ´hey, no problem, I´m good at giving birth.´
But, ofcourse, as every birth is different, that was a completely different thing, it hurt a lot and I couldn´t relax because there were a lot of woman labouring so I stayed on my normal hospital bed with a lot of strangers around talking about the wetter. I was not focused and in control at all, I was undergoing it all.
So when Ds2 was there, I was sure to want an epi if there would ever be a third.
But now your stories make me want to look for a Doula and a clinic with a birth tub if we´ll have nr.3
Skrimpy, you totally made me want another home birth, but unfortunately DH wouldn´t survive

Indira I am so sorry to hear about losing so much blood after your hb
I had a lot of blood loss after my first but my mw was able to get it under control with an injection of Pitocin. I was really worried about it happening again by my mw encouraged me to pay special attention to my diet during my next pregnancy and also visualize a super-smooth birth. I followed her advice and my next baby came wonderfully without any excess blood loss - and that has been true for the next two as well.
I really believe that it made a lot of difference to pay close attention to my diet (my mw says all the eggs I ate helped a lot hehe) and also feeling a lot more prepared for childbirth in general.
I would really see if your DH would be up to you going to a birth center or a birthing unit with a tub. I think a doula is a great idea, too, she can help keep you focused and feeling in controlWife to a sweetie DH& Mama to:
