npub1aqpenskpwyr873mc6ew9avheunx48scluqf8wts8enhdp2lwd67sxuu959 (npub1aqp…u959) I've been at several home births. Most went beautifully. The last one I was at, the mother was a good friend of mine. She hired a practical nurse she knew personally who said she was experienced with home births.
The baby boy was born fine, but his airways were clogged, he was trying to breathe but couldn't, and the syringe my not-so-organized friend had provided (midwife didn't bring supplies) didn't work. The midwife panicked and I had to help. It worked out okay, but it was dicey.
