Why I'm choosing to give birth the way I am

So my friend Courtney posted about how she watched A Baby Story on TLC and won't be doing that again since all the screaming and such was scary (personally I think those shows are deterrent to ever wanting to get pregnant but that's me). A few of her friends chuckled and told her not to worry that getting an epidural was her friend. I mentioned

So are you scheduled for another c section? Or are you trying for a vaginal birth this time...?
I was a case of medical examples... haha
I had a hospital birth first and swore never to do it again...
2 home births that were great! Even a 9 pound baby with peace!
Then a (so called) emergency C-section, but he was born sucking both thumbs and holding his head upright. They lost the heart rate because the internal fetal monitor fell out.
Then 5 miscarriages (I believe due to a bad c-section) One was in my ovary and I had to have surgery due to internal bleeding and nearly died
then due to all the pregnancies and surgeries, I had a FINAL c-section AND a tubal ligation (thank the Gods, I was DONE!)

I'm planning on doing a vaginal birth at a birthing center.

Sounds like you had a rough time before you final baby! Glad you got through it.
