hi im 26 weeks pregnant well, near enough. and just recently started worryin about the birth and where 2 have her, either at home or hospital. originally i thought hospital but iv heard some disturbing things like they pushed a baby back up so they could give her a c section, they starved a baby of oxygen he took 2long coming out and he now has slight brain problems... etc
where do you think is best and is anyone else worrying about the birth?
any reasurence?????
im not sure..theres pros and cons for both
with hospitals, theres always the risk of catchin something like mrsa
if something goes wrong in labour, obviously being in a hospital would be best..
its really up to u to decide. btw, those stories uve heard are really rare! weigh up the good and bad points for both, then decide from there x
I think the pros of having the baby at the hospital outweigh the cons. Birth can be very dangerous, if the baby gets stuck and you need an emergency Ceasarian then you would have to be at the hospital, and you have to get it done within minutes otherwise the placenta stops bringing oxygen to the baby. Also things like if the umbilical cord is around his neck, if he needs to go into intensive care after he's born, if there's a problem, etc. I would have the baby at the hospital.
