I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and my doctors told me at my first appointment that I have a bichornuate uterus, which at first they said was not severe.

And I don't want to be in a hospital setting where interventions are going to be pushed.

So what's the choice now?

An at-home free birth because no midwife can legally attend the home birth because in past 42 weeks.

When laws are put in place, that limit our options when it comes to our bodies and our

births, that has nothing to do with women being able to take total responsibility for their births

and make their own decision.

I got into consideration because that can alter your due date by however many days,

short or long your cycle is.

So you need to go convince them that you have a 33-day cycle.

You can be like, oh, wait a minute.

I forgot.

My cycle's actually 37 days.

Childbirth is something we're made to do, but how do we have our safest and most satisfying experience in today's medical culture?
