CHOOSING A HOMEBIRTH

Experience birth in the safety, comfort and privacy of your own home with no unnecessary interventions.

Studies have repeatedly shown that homebirth for low-risk mothers with an experienced practitioner results in better outcomes for mother and baby.

Despite this, birth at home is not for everyone. It would not be appropriate for a woman who is considered a "high-risk" to have a homebirth. Homebirth is for those women/couples who are low risk, healthy, are willing to become educated, maintain a good diet, and communicate with their midwife in order to facilitate a healthy pregnancy and positive birth outcome. Homebirth is for those people who desire privacy, a family centered birth with attentive and loving care from their attendants.
