I'm pregnant again and decided to go with my MW and midwife in training from last time.
My reasons for not having an unassisted birth are pretty dull.
I liked the mw's both so much that I really thought they added to the birth environment. I felt really cared for in that environment. But, I also felt like it was pretty unassisted in its own ways. I asked for their help when I wanted it, but the rest of the time we were left to our own devices.
Another reason I wouldn't have an unassisted birth is that I'm too lazy to figure out how to do the birth cert. filing and crap like that.
Okay, those are my lame reasons. If the next time (IF) we go to have a baby the MW isn't around I think I'd be completely open/leaning to an unassisted. Especially when I listen to some women's mw horror stories.
What keeps you from having an unassisted birth?
