Hi. I am 6 months pregnant. I really want to give birth at home where I am comfortable, and where I feel like my stress levels would be reduced.  However, I live in a country where this is not allowed, and apparently I 'have' to go to hospital and stay there for 4 days after the birth.  I am very upset about this - I have never been in hospital since I was born, and Iam perfectly healthy. It seems to me like gicing birth is a natural thing, not a medical procedure.  I don't want to give birth on a crowded ward. What can I do?  Is it safe to give birth at home without the help of a doctor?  I don't know if I can get a midwife to come to my home. I am scared that they may force me into hospital.
