Cincinnati Homebirth Meeting

I went to my first Cincinnati Homebirth Meeting yesterday. It was so refreshing to met a group of women going through the same thing as me. Every woman had a different reason for having a Homebirth, which I found interesting. Every women was somewhat different, but I diffently did not fall in to the typical category of women who have Home births. Most of the women were Vegans, used all organic products, used cloth diapers, used all natural herbs for medicine, do not give there children most vaccinations, and did not shave there legs :) I respect these women very much. I don't think I could do what they do, but to a point I wish I could. I do feel that there reasoning for having a Home birth was mainly because of their lifestyle they already live. For me its different. My reasoning's may even sound crazier than theirs. I walked out of that meeting realizing I explained points that make me happy I am having a Homebirth, but I didn't explain the REAL reason, perhaps its because I was afraid of what they might say and maybe its because I didn't really know for sure until I left.

The real reason being, I feel that women were blessed with the gift to give birth. It is something that no one can take from us, bringing life into this world. There are even women out there who can't share this gift, which makes it even more special for the women who can. During Life and Death what is the main focus? GOD. Simply put its GOD. When are you more closer to God then when you are bringing Life into this world? I don't want anyone to take that special moment from me. Society has made birth be so conformed to a Hospital and Medicine that we lose the fact that on our child's birthday, God is bring a Life into this world. He has literately worked THROUGH you more than any other time in your life. Why would I want to be strapped to a bed with IVs and drugs to lesson my experience with God? I did twice and I will not do it again. I will have no Doctors or Nurses be littling my Birth and God's Work. I will not feel like it's just another Birth in the hospital, but that it was a sacred moment between God, Myself, and Jameson. I feel the water I deliver him in will be as pure as the water I was baptised in. No one can take that feeling or experience with God away.
