yes, I am one of those people that love to research...and I want to have more info before we even start TTC
My son was born at the hospital, but I would really like to research possibly having a home birth in the future. Any good (esp. Austin specific) sites or nurse midwives to start researching?
DH isn't onboard, so I want to discuss with him before TTC. We both might be happy with just "one and done", so this is another thing we need to agree on/consider.

I love it when I see tickers like that! Thanks for the recs, ladies...I will check out the birthing center. My first labor was "only" 13 hours, but a lot of what didn't go as I would've liked I think was hospital specific. At the end of the day, I got a healthy baby, but I think I could've had a better experience. I really hate that they made me balance on my tailbone when I had done a ton of squats during pregnancy to prepare for un-medicated birth...

There's also a birthing center in Georgetown:
Central Texas Birth Center (https://texasbirthcenter.com/)
They offer homebirth service also.

I am touring AABC in two weeks. I am surprised so many were moved to the hospital as they claim only 10% are moved to the hospital.
Did you all feel like it was frantic when you were moved or an emergency. Or did you feel well taken care of at all times.
