Having A Home Birth And It's Options

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 absolutely a growing movement of 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 examine the issues regarding delivering your baby at home.

First of all, it is usually performed by a midwife when a woman chooses to have a baby at home. Midwives are actually women who really assist in delivering the baby. Much like a doctor's role except in the big fact that they really stress the importance of delivering the baby in a natural way. That is one of the main reasons women come to me in my home birth midwives 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 actually don't realize is that using drugs basically slow down the birth process. And at times it makes it harder to deliver the baby.

While a home birth sometimes uses the option of delivering in water to make the transition for the baby. This process or method of delivery is actually called a water birth. That is one of the big ways to deliver in my home birth services.

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

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