We are open to alternatives to birth at the hospital -- birthing centers or a midwife (but I don't think midwifes are allowed in NC).
Oh, thought I would add, midwives are allowed inNC (and you sound anti dr so doubly recommend one) but home births are not allowed..or rather home births are allowed just not births at home tended by a midwife..makes no logical sense. but that is the law. Finding a midwife may be hard though.
