How do i find a home birth provider?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Search online: A simple online search should help you find a provider willing to do a home birth. I would make sure you understand the credentials of the provider and get a clear understanding of their policies for back up and transfer.

Why would you?!: No reasonable person would make an informed decision to deliver their baby at home without access to a maternity center with a large blood bank, surgical suites, experienced obstetrical surgeons, round-the-clock perinatal anesthesiologists and neonatal intensive care unit. You should not put your life and your baby's life at risk by delivering at home - multiple studies prove it is much riskier!
