Ahhhh, another glorious home birth in the books! People often think that home birth is dangerous, but Home midwives come prepared for all kinds of emergencies. They have the ability to resuscitate, give oxygen, administer medication to stop hemorrhage, give IV fluids, and know when to call for help before it’s too late. Many of the times I’ve witnessed homebirths I’ve thought about how if that same labor pattern was happening in the hospital, it likely would’ve been a C-section. Too often c-sections happen because the pushing went on too long, the baby’s wasn’t in a favorable position, an induction was pushed for non-medical reasons and not enough time was given. If you and your baby are healthy and you desire an unmedicated, low intervention birth, a home birth is a safe option.
