Hi ladies! This is my first time using this board. This will be my 5th baby-1st unassisted. I am doing an unassisted birth for multiple reasons: 1. I have always wanted to do a home birth, but have never been able to for fear of loosing my children to child services. 2. My last birth was an emergency c-section due to an accident, and now, the doctors won't even discuss a VBAC because they "don't do that here if the patient has had ANY previous c-sections". 3. I live almost an hour away from any doctor or hospital and have always had very fast labors. Is there anyone here who knows anything about unassisted birth laws or regulations in Colorado? Also, should we call emt's at any point during the delivery? We would prefer no hospitals involved, but I'm not sure about when/how to call it in for it to be considered unplanned per child services. It is nice to meet you ladies, and I look forward to any experience and stories shared!
