@holyhomemaking Yes. The majority of home births actually happen without them. I had one for my first home birth but didn’t use it to deliver so never even got one for the second time. No ragerts
@Mariean_w I would tell them if you take it and end up going into labor, because the way it induces contractions is also very dehydrating and you may need more fluids at the hospital. It also raises the risk of meconium aspiration, so having them be aware to look out for it is good.
@StephanieABrady Definitely worth doing it! I have had a doula for half of my births, and those were the ones with better outcomes. I will never go without again if I can help it!
@holyhomemaking I’ve had 2 home births that were 26 and 12 hours of labor beforehand. I never considered transferring. A big part of that is resting in early labor, eating, and drinking to keep your strength. I was much more exhausted during my hospital labor because I was refused food and water

@RosieHill425@Zo_bo_fo_sho Do you find that their perspective is often very different? I’m wondering if there’s a component of ADHD that changes perception of social situations just from observing my own loved ones with ADHD
