If you're a healthy woman having a normal pregnancy with no medical or obstetrical risk factors, giving birth at home is an option for you. Giving birth at home allows you to labor and birth in a familiar and comfortable surrounding. You'll have more control over your birth experience than you would in a hospital. At home, you get to share the experience with only those you want and feel comfortable with, in the privacy of your own home, without interruptions. You and your midwife team have created a great rapport and relationship so that your needs will be taken care of with little fuss. For a sense of what a home birth can be like, check out our client reviews!
