RE: Home Birth vs Hospital Birth
63 hours in labour is really long time. So episiotomy to fasten the delivery was justifiable. Are you sure your child wasn't in distress? That much longer time! There might be meconium stained Amniotic fluid and he might be in respiratory distress.
Home delivery is definitely appreciated if condition allow. Your daughter was a second birth. First delivery usually takes longer time. That's why may be second delivery was much faster than first one.
My son was fine, even though it was a long labor. In my situation an episiotomy was not proven to be necessary, only convenient for hospital staff.
