Ugh, that sounds absolutely awful! My mom gave birth to each of the three of us kids at home with the help of midwives, and so she couldn't be "sent home"--she was already there! Plus I got to see both of my siblings being born (without major disruptions to my life--after all, I was still at home and could sleep through most of it), and plus it was cheaper than a hospital birth. When I have kids, I want to give birth at home. (Unless of course something goes wrong with my pregnancy, in which case any responsible midwife would refer me to an ob-gyn for a hospital birth.)
