"If you have a dream about homebirth... and experiencing a peaceful and beautiful childbirth -- here you will learn more about
giving birth at home."

 

When a woman gives birth to her baby at home, rather than the labor and delivery ward of a hospital or birthing center, the birthing even is called homebirth. Home births are generally attended by a midwife, and sometimes by general practitioners or other medical professionals as well. Some mothers choose to give birth without any medical professional present – this is generally known as an "unassisted home birth".

In choosing home birth, the mother generally has more control over her own body and surroundings, over the whole process of giving birth to her own baby. The birthing mother can eat and move around, sleep and do anything she pleases - activities which may be discouraged in a hospital setting.

Homebirth midwives generally view birth as a natural process, and therefore keep their intervention and any other sort of medical intervention to a minimum.

Homebirthing Women

In most cultures throughout history, women have given birth at home. The majority of women worldwide continue to birth their babies in non-hospital settings today, and child birth is viewed as an integral part of family life.

The advent of obstetrics in the late 20th century had a tremendous effect on childbirth customs in many Western countries. The birthing process became segregated from mainstream family life, and home birth declined due to migration to urban centers and increased accessibility of hospitals.

However, today the World Health Organization encourages the use of more naturalistic, small-scale methods of childbirth, rather than the large-scale units now prevalent in developed countries.
