HOME BIRTH

Why is it that when a woman in this country announces that she wants to have her baby at home, she is greeted with horrified stares and talk of cults? Throughout the ages, plenty of people came into this world without the benefit of a hospital … and I'm not talking about the Dark Ages, either.

Today many hospitals have their own birth horror stories: women being handed the wrong baby, misplacing babies, babies being given incorrect doses of medicine, women not being able to bond with their babies because they were whisked away to incubators, etc. Obviously, a homebirth carries its own risks, but unless the pregnancy is high-risk, I don't think there is any reason not to do a homebirth if that's what the mama wants.
