(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Lyndsay Carlson of Stansbury Park plays with her daughter Eve, nearly 5 months, on May 16, 2018, as she describes the experience of giving birth in the family bedroom. Carlson and her husband, Jerry, decided on a homebirth early in her pregnancy, but contractions started so fast they were unable to fill their birthing pool in time. According to a new report by the Utah Department of Health, more women are choosing to give birth outside of the hospital.
