I gave birth to four children, three at home and one in a hospital. The hospital wasn’t part of the plan. Years earlier, I had broken my tailbone in a car accident. It healed wrong, and I didn’t realize until I went into labor. My son’s head kept striking a bone that would not move. Hours went by and he still couldn’t descend. Both of our lives were at risk. They rushed me to the hospital, gave me an epidural, re-broke the bone, and used a vacuum to pull him into the world.
