Re: Unassisted Homebirth
I can understand that they want it private, but I can see why a third party could be helpful. Maybe a doula or midwife, etc. I think that someone could be present without it being involved. That way, if, God forbid, something goes wrong, there is someone else there who can be level headed and get them the help they need without the panic that the mother- and father-to-be will be experiencing. Even if I were to have a homebirth, I would want someone there who does that everyday. Not just my husband (who is very smart), because he doesn't really specialize in bringing babies into the world.
