Congrats on #4.
I'm also an unassisted homebirther, with daddy catching all 3. My first and third were water births and all 3 were only a couple of hours of active labor and out they came!
I feel like you about women and taking control of their births and claiming their intuition in all things. I had qualms about Ricki Lake's movie and was upset that the last thing on the film was about a hospital birth...but that is what is going on in the US....doctor's are more like gods than just another human being trying to help someone with a health issue. But at least people got a taste of what it could be like doing a homebirth, so that is good...just to get the thought out there was good I thought. But it did cause a great scare in the medical arena! Midwives are having more and more restrictions put on them, but it's at least better than having a hospital birth. All those medical people take over and take away women's powers. My mother was an ob/gyn nurse, so hearing her stories were my main reason to have a homebirth! She gave us such hassles that my first pregnancy sucked. I was always second guessing myself and was stressed out. But my last pregnancy was sublime, no stress and no family interference! Yeah, and it was the fastest birth! She is now 1 1/2 and I can't believe she is so big already!
Welcome to the group. Look forward to talking more!
