I don't have an issue for low risk women having homebirths. I do get nervous about women who have unassisted homebirths.

And like you said, if not for your risk of stroking out because of blood pressure, you couldn't feel was that high; your birth would have been perfect. If not for my son's shoulder dystocia that I wouldn't have been able to take care of myself, my birth would have gone perfect. Thank goodness for knowledgable care providers and proper medicine when needed! I'm so glad you had a healthy baby! Such a blessing!
