Had my youngest four at home. The older two in the hospital. I would take home-birth over hospital any day provided one is not high-risk. I wasn't. However, sometimes I wonder about the "expert's" advice. I thank the Living Lord for giving me the chance to stay at home. None of the four at home needed treated for jaundice. Both born at the hospital needed treatment...both of them had the vitamin K shot at birth. The youngest four did not receive that shot and were healthy.
