A member asked:
What will my midwife do if i am giving birth at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To be discussed: Home births are not performed by all midwives. Should you choose this option, you need to do your homework- regarding your midwife's licensure and competency, how many of such births has she performed, who is her back up physician and hospital, what is the distance to the hospital, what complications she is able to deal with, is she able to perform neonatal assessment and resuscitation?
