Oo naman, okay lang ang manganak sa lying-in first time mom! A few of us from our neighborhood had our babies sa lying-in, and honestly nakuha namin ang best ng both worlds, may actual medical staff around pero mas relaxed pa rin compared sa hospital setup. Depende talaga sa which lying-in and kung gaano sila equipped, pero most of them are really prepared na for normal deliveries, at may referral agad if may complications. I'd say visit mo muna ang lugar, tanungin mo directly kung anong monitoring setup nila at kung may pediatrician on call, then you'll feel way more confident!
