Betsy, Rachel and Kerry: I want to add in on this one... I too would say that some of the worst train werecks I have seen are home births... It is important to remember that home birth/ no meds doing all the "correct" things is NOT a guarantee. Some of the problem I have seen is that as the thought is that with a home birth it will all work perfectly there is a tendency to wait a long time... 4-6 weeks to call for help. This compounds the problem and the solution.
