The Benefits Of Having A Baby At Home

By Sharon Christopher

Delivering a baby is absolutely a wonderful experience. Although it is wonderful there are many pains and stresses that come with delivering a baby. Simply because of that most of the babies are usually delivered in the hospital.

But there is definitely a growing movement of strong women having babies at home. And contrary to popular opinion, it is definitely safer than most people would ever imagine. So in this article we are going to look at delivering your baby at home.

First of all when a woman chooses to have a baby at home it is usually performed by a midwife. Midwives are actually women who skillfully assist in delivering the baby. Much like a doctor's role except in the mere fact that they really stress and emphasize delivering the baby in a natural way. That is one of the main reasons women come to me in my midwife services. They want to have a baby without using drugs during delivery.

Now the common thought is that most women always use drugs during the delivery of the baby to ease the pain. But in reality what most women don't realize is that using drugs slow down the birth process. And a lot of times it even makes it harder to deliver the baby. While a home birth sometimes uses the very common option of delivering in water in order to make the transition for the baby. This process of delivery is called a water birth. That is one of the big ways to deliver in my water birth services.

Finally most people believe that it is definitely not safe to deliver a baby at home simply because there isn't a doctor present. But that isn't the case. Most of the women who do real midwifery are of course medically trained and understand what are the things to do in an emergency. Most are licensed like the women in my licensed midwife service. This licensing requires a board to oversee their work and knowledge.

So hopefully you can see that having a baby at home isn't as dangerous as people think. If you are pregnant it is basically an option that might be wonderful for you. - 33375
