I have 2 little ones and both were born at home. I knew before I was even pregnant with the first that I didn't want to have my babies in a hospital. Hospitals are for sick people, and a totally appropriate place for women with...

Thanks everyone. These have been really helpful responses. I have seen both my midwife and the OB again, and they both still stick by their original diagnoses. So at this point I don't really care what anyone wants to call it. If I have...
