As I wrote about in Emery’s birth story, we decided to have a home birth for her. This decision was made after quite a bit of research, so I wanted to share some of the reasons that home birth was the right decision for OUR family (very important- since I don’t believe home birth is necessarily the right decision for everyone!)
The top reasons why a home birth was right for us were:
- COVID (although now I don’t think I would ever give birth a different way!)
- Hospital Interventions/ Policies
- Low Risk
- Quality of care with a midwife team
- Birthing in the comfort of our home
- Postpartum services
