What are the benefits of home births?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Home Birth: The + is friendly environment. The disadvantage is that childbirth can be associated with potential problems/complications for the mom & baby, a home doesn't have necessary medical equipment nor personnel to deal with obstetrical emergencies! i strongly advise against this. You can find a user friendly obstetrical facility that can provide the comfort of a home birth with security to provide care.
