I have learned a lot from her about being spiritually prepared for giving birth as both mentally and physically. She has had two home births and is expecting her third child this summer. I may eventually have a home birth, depending on if there is a midwifery that is close enough to us that practices home births. As of right now there isn't. I know some mother's prefer the comfort of their own home or some feel more comfortable being in a hospital or birth center. I really am fine in a hospital, but I would be interested in trying out a birth center or home birth if I was given the opportunity. I really love the midwife group I do have and am so thankful for them and their service.
[ Loudoun Community Midwives ] They are located in Leesburg, VA. 

I will post again with my thoughts on having a midwife vs. a doctor.

Have a great day!
