Summary

In the 21st century, women are supposed to have a choice about where they give birth. But when that choice is home, women often encounter obstacles, despite robust evidence that birth at home is safe, beneficial, and should be available for women who want it. Why Home Birth Matters is a clear discussion of the reality of modern home birth which aims to show how the home environment supports and powers the birth process, while encouraging parents to consider how it might work for them.

Unbiased scientifically evidenced advice

I was recommended this book by my midwife and it has helped cement mine and my partners decision that a home birth is the right choice for us. Advice is scientifically evidenced and not over complicated or simplified. The most useful book I’ve read this pregnancy and will recommend to all mums to be, plenty of helpful birth tips even if you decide home birth isn’t quite right for you.

Informative

Really informative book not just about giving birth at home but also the understanding of the different stages of labour - knowledge is power!
