I just wanted to thank everyone for their input, it really does help with the process, even though we're only thinking of it for now. It does help prepare for later on though.

Wow Sin your poor daughter! What an awful experience to go through for her and for your entire family. :grouphug:
Another memory for me that I'll always treasure....
I had my 4th at a hospital but with my first midwife assisted birth. My husband Mike was there and the older three were allowed to come and go as we wished. We'd given Katelyn our oldest who was 14 at the time the option to stay for the birth and in the end she did. Having my oldest "baby" and my wonderful husband there, all three of us working together to bring young Michael into the world was an experience I can't even put into words here. In the middle of giving life to another child I watched my oldest child have such a part of it. Kate just blew the midwife and nurses away! For a 14 year old her calm, directed approach was amazing to all of us. She and Mike both worked together, helped me relax and deliver the baby without any intervention of drugs or machines. It was truly a family in that room.
To this day young Michael is so bonded to his big sissy Kate. I think somehow he knows she was there and watching them together is always very touching for me.
