WHY HOMEBIRTH?
If you are thinking about planning a homebirth then you probably are already familiar with its benefits. Although the percentage of homebirths in the U.S. is very low many women are trusting their instincts and questioning hospital births. Having a homebirth is not for everyone, but the choice is yours! Many couples who choose to have their babies at home believe that pregnancy is NOT an illness, it is the most natural condition of the human body. You can, of course, suffer complications; this is what the hospital is there for.
Advances in science and technology account for many positive changes in our quality of life. However, many women from around the world are choosing to give birth the old-fashioned way — in their own homes. Why? The fact is, in spite of all the good that has come from scientific discoveries and experiments, medical science has not been able to improve the human body and the way it was designed to work. Homebirth increases the chances that your baby will have a gentle birth, and that you will be in the best condition to care for your baby and breastfeed your baby after the birth. One of the most valuable aspects of a homebirth is that you are not held back by anything. This is Your territory. You are surrounded by Your stuff. You are equal to anyone in the room.
