Before the advanced medical technology, giving birth at home was the norm. But considering how modern the world is, today, there are still women who opt to give birth at home. When you say home birth, it doesn’t literally mean that you will give birth to yourself. It includes the participation of midwives, nurses and other trained professionals. Is home birth for you?
Home birth may be an option for you if you are having a healthy, low-risk pregnancy, meaning that there’s no complications during your pregnancy; if you want to avoid operation (caesarian section operation); if you want to be comfortable moving around your house during labor; and if you want to be surrounded by your family and loved ones.
Home birth is not recommended for you if you are diabetic; when have experienced preterm labor during your past pregnancies; if you are at risk of preterm labor now; and if your partner does not support this kind of birth process.
Home birth may be significantly more affordable compared to giving birth in the hospital. It is said that an average uncomplicated vaginal birth costs about 60% less in a home that in a hospital.
Home birth also provides immediate bonding and breastfeeding. Breastfeeding helps the mother to stop bleeding, clears mucus from the baby’s nose and mouth and most important of all, it transfers disease- fighting antibodies in the milk. For those first time moms, it would be more comfortable to give a breastmilk to your baby when you are surrounded by people dear to you.
Home birth allows you to be surrounded by the people dearest to your heart. By including children, spouse and people dear to your heart during the birth process will provide you much understanding from them that will help you heal physically and emotionally.
