My family is worried about me having a home birth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
This is normal: They will worry about you regardless but hopefully will respect your choices. You can help by providing them with information about your preparations and contingency plans. Listen to their concerns and try to respond calmly and logically. Involve them to the degree that you and they are comfortable.

As well they should: This was almost a necessity in the 1920's & has seen a revival over the past 2 decades by those who want to avoid hospitals.Birth is one of the most dangerous times there is for a newborn & up to 25% have problems in labor and 10% end up needing advanced perinatal care. Locally, midwives deliver at a hospital backed up by OB's that can provide immediate assistance. I consider the practice foolish
