Subject: Re: Reasons for choosing homebirth

I would add that i believe most women do choose homebirth for the birth experience, and not because they think it's safer.  Midwives may choose homebirth because they/we think it's safer, but I'm sure that that knowledge isn't 'out there' in the community.
 
 
Dear Jo, i don't know about most women but my husband chose homebirth as his preferred choice saying that in his experience ( farming ) if you leave the mothers alone they mostly do ok!!  For me it was very important not to have any suggestion at all of "risk" or "what might" plus i needed my Mum making muffins and a decent birthpool that i had free access too.  Pretty sound reasons hey?!! 
yours in support of birth
