POLL!!! Where did you give birth?

Ask:
Where did you give birth to your child(ren)? Why? (You CAN vote for more than one option, if applicable.)
Answer:

I gave birth at the hospital. It just seemed like the best at the time. She was unexpected and we went to an OB GYN and that is where she practiced out of. I didn't know any different but I wouldn't change it either.
Answer:

I gave birth to both of mine at the hospital. I would not change it either. I loved being waited on by someone else, plus my daughter swalled micosine....(sp) had a bowl movement before birth and she needed medical attention so it did not effect her lungs. They did a great job getting it all and she has no side effects from it.
Answer:

I gave birth at home, with a midwife with both of my boys. I loved it and I am planning on doing it again this time around
Answer:

I gave birth at the hospital both times. I wouldn't have considered any place else. My ds was born with the cord wrapped around his neck and was not breathing. The doctors were very quick to remove the cord and to get him breathing. Everything happened so quick that I didn't realize what was going on at first. I will be forever grateful to those doctors.
Answer:

I had all 7 of mine at hospital. I am too afraid that the babies might have complications and they would need care. 2 of mine did need special immediate care.
Answer:

THe hospital for me too. I was older and considered a high risk pregnancy and had pre eclampsia with my first so I wouldn't have considered having them not in a hosp. Plus I WORKED at the hosp so I felt comfortable there. Plus I ended up having to be induced early with both since they were so enormous....so another reason to be safe at the hosp.
Answer:

HOSPITAL and no other place since it ended in a c section... I would not be here if I was at home.
Answer:

Hospital for me. I was scared enough as it was about giving birth. To me a hospital would be prepared for anything versus being at home. Not a chance I was willing to take.
Answer:

Hospital for me, too, all four times. I had high blood pressure and hospital was much safer in my situation.
