SIL's labor

I thought my response to this goes to show how comfortable we are with homebirthing:

My husband said to me that SIL was headed to the hospital. I thought to myself, 'Is she sick or something?'...'Oh! She must be going there because her labor has started!' It's funny how those were my first thoughts- that she must be sick or something was wrong with her. It's that why you go to the hospital?

It turns out that she had a vaginal birth without pain meds and everyone was doing well. We thought for sure she'd go home that day. Apparently they were keeping her for three days! Perhaps something else was going on, but that just seems crazy to me- and to my husband too.

I am SO glad we're having a homebirth and that we get to labor in our own environment with us in control and no transporting back and forth. That just does not sound enjoyable and relaxing- especially with a newborn and all their supplies. :)
