Personal birthing experience and childbirth in Australia

I chose to post about the birth of my third and final child Nyla, who is four years old currently. I chose her because it will relate to my post about Australia. When I had Nyla, I had some complications after she was delivered. It was about 3 or 4 hours after she was born that i felt really bad like I was going to vomit and then I had a seizure. I was hemorrhaging badly and if not for the quick response of my medical staff, I would have died.
This leads me to Australia. Many childbirth experiences are done at home with midwives because one, the parent feels like the are more in control of the birth if they are at home, and two, they feel its much more personal than going to the hospital. i just feel that all childbirth should be at the hospital. In my situation I explained above, if I had chose to use a midwife, I wouldn't have survived. Nyla was fine but she would have been raised by husband and my two older boys and she would have gone through life without their mother. I just feel the hospital setting is equipped with whatever you need, whatever may go wrong.
