My name is Kathy Petersen, and I have been married for 5 years. My husband and I have two children, currently ages 3 and 18 months, both born at home. I am a stay-at-home mom and a childbirth educator; my husband is a schoolteacher. We live in Ripley, MS, and are members of Ripley Primitive Baptist Church.
Hi Kathy, I was forced to have my baby at home because the doctors are so intent of invasive procedures. I actually like having babies at home over the hospital anyday though.
I needed someone to help me however I did not know any other options other than being abused by the doctors at the hospital. They would have made me a nervious wreck and led to a c-section.
It seems as if the women in Mississippi are getting mroe birthing options. It is about time this has happened.
