How many members were born at home? I was born in a farm house in Missouri. Doctors made house calls in those days.
On the side of the road counts too! Friend of mine in Texas has a grandson nicknamed "Roadie" because his mother didn't make it to the hospital.

At home, delivered by my dad. The doctor had messed up delivering my older brother, and my dad didn't even call him until I was there. My aunt, a fresh out of school nurse, was there to help, and got me breathing after the delivery. 7 weeks premature, just made 5 lbs.

Funny you should ask.... When I was due, my dad was in college, and taking finals in engineering. He was top of his class, and asked to take his exams early because of me. This was something his professor NEVER allowed, due to the possibility of the test questions getting out. My dad was asked where his wife was now, and was told "Home". Unknown to my dad, the local hospital was "Home Hospital " and the professor understood that to mean I was due any minute, so he gave in and allowed early exams. My father aced the exam, and every day the professor asked about me, and I was late. 2 weeks late in fact, and the professor started to believe he had been hoodwinked. He sweated bullets that his test was still valid. After 2 weeks, my father presented him with a cigar and the good news, and he said "I do not even smoke, but I'm damn glad to see this cigar!!" When the time came, I was indeed, delivered at Home. (Hospital) ![wink wink](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Delivered by a midwife in her home. My dad was in another part of the state working and had a bet with the family Dr. as to the sex of the baby. This is the post card my father recieved.
Mothers feachers fathers fixtures. My dad won that bet.

My parents did not offer me any options about where I wanted to be born, so I arrived in the Buena Vista County Hospital rather than at home, thereby dooming me to a huge strike against my "Rugged Individualist" card. I'm too lazy to go and dig out my baby book now, but as I recall, the whole business, including, if I remember correctly, three or four days of stay for Mom and me, was $97.

If I recall correctly John, at that time the BV hospital was still a log building?
I'm sure those rumors of the doctor looking at you, and slapping your mother are pure fabrications?
