Are you currently pregnant and thinking about where you would like to give birth?
For those with a low-risk pregnancy, planning a home birth is a safe and empowering choice...Birthing in the comfort of your own home can enhance relaxation, promote natural oxytocin release, and allow for a calm, uninterrupted experience.
The Lancet report found that, for low-risk pregnancies, planned home births resulted in significantly fewer interventions: a 68% lower chance of a c-section, 55% fewer forceps deliveries, and 40% fewer episiotomies compared to hospital births.
But let’s be real—home birth isn’t for everyone, and where you birth is your choice. Do your research, trust your gut, and chat it through with your care provider. You deserve to feel confident wherever you choose to birth.
Would you consider a home birth? Or have you already had one?
