Next I wanted to talk about home births.
Home births are births that occur in your own home. In this setting mothers have a natural vaginal delivery. Mothers are assisted by a midwife, and in some cases a doula, in the birth of her baby in the safe, calming, environment of her own home.
Some of the advantages to home delivery are:
- It is easier to relax because of the calming, familiar environment you are in.
- You can wear your own clothes, eat, drink and move freely throughout the labor and delivery.
- You can be in control of what birthing positions you want to try and what you do not want to try.
- It also give you the option to give birth free from any medical intervention.
Disadvantages to home births are:
- Home births cannot always continue as planned; if you develop a pregnancy complication like preeclampsia or go into pre-term labor, home births are strongly discouraged.
- If you are diagnosed with an pre-pregnancy medical conditions home births are usually not encouraged.
- If complications were to arise, you would have to transport to a medical facility during labor.
Overall home births give you as the mother the option to have the birth you want. You can go through labor any way you want and can give birth in many different ways. Although there are some disadvantages to home births it is another option that mothers have.
