Home birth benefits also include being in an environment that is safe. And people ask, “Is home birth really safe?” and statistically speaking, it’s actually safer to give birth at home than in a hospital. For a normal pregnancy and a healthy mother and a healthy baby, that is the best place to deliver your child. In a home birth, you’re guaranteed not to have unnecessary interventions, which often cause another cascade of interventions that are unnecessary. We don’t force things in a home birth. If we can’t do it with our own hands, and herbs, and homeopathy, we can’t do it. So we take that as a sign that it’s time to go to the hospital if it’s not proceeding naturally.

I also want to say that a lot of reasons why people choose the hospital over the home birth option is because of a perceived sense of security, or a perceived certainty that everything is going to go well. And if you look at the statistics and do your research, you will find that home birth is actually safer than a hospital birth.
