While at the onset itself, many women assume that the birth will happen at a hospital under the guidance of a trained doctor, there are some women who prefer giving birth at home. This may seem preposterous to many of us who do not know the benefits of delivering a child at home rather than in a hospital. Check out 5 awesome things to know about home birth.
1. There is no standard protocol
Many mothers to be don’t know that they are fed and medicated out of standard procedure during the birth process even without the actual need for it. However, in case of a home birth, the midwives are just as experienced and will take care of all your needs and give medication only if required. Women may not be able to get all those needs accommodated while at the hospital as the doctors have to follow a standard operating procedure.
2. There are experienced midwives
The midwives are not only more empathetic towards the whole process, but they also prepare the mother gradually for the final arrival of the child. Sometimes, the hospital experience for an expecting mother, when she is in labor can be daunting and can affect the birthing process. But at home, in the hands of midwives, you are mentally prepared and know when the time has come for you to bring the child to this world.
3. Your close family can attend the delivery
It can be an unnerving experience for women who are experiencing the joy of motherhood for the first time. However, at home, in the presence of close friends and family, the fear of anything going wrong can just quietly slip by. There is always a festive mood as everyone is ready to receive the new family member.
