Homebirth Talk: The Real Reason to Choose Homebirth

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Why aren’t more women choosing to give birth at home?

In my little circle, homebirth is the logical choice for a mom-to-be. But outside of my circle, very few women choose to have a birth at home. Even highly educated, well informed women, who know their options, who choose to have a natural birth, choose to have that birth at a hospital. So what is keeping them from wanting what I consider the “optimum” birth experience?

There are studies touting safety-showing homebirth is just as safe, if not safer than hospital birth- if that’s the concern. There is all kind of support, if you look for it, and birth stories and birth videos to get a peek at what it might really be like. If you ask the right people in your community, you can find out who the homebirth midwives are and interview them, ask them about all your questions and concerns. But why aren’t most women doing these things? Why do they just choose the default option, hospital birth?
