“I doubt that you ever saw a birth at home.”
Actually yes.
When I was about 9 years old one of those TV magazines, might have been Sickly Minutes (60 Minutes) was doing a story on women who still wanted home deliveries and had trouble finding doctors to do them. During the show they showed an actual home birth, and gave an announcement before it aired “in case parents wanted to take their kids from the TV or bring them to it”. I was watching this show with my Dad and brother. My Dad did not object to us watching and after it was over told us about my aunt and bother being born at home this way.
So yes I did one as a child.
No you did not see a live birth at home. You watched a television show that had a live birth
As you know the smells and sights and energy of the room is far different in person
