Why Healthcare Professionals Choose Home Birth

by: Sarah TrottPosted on:

‘Why Not Home: The Surprising Birth Choices of Doctors and Midwives’ is about “changing the conversation about birth in America and spreading evidence-based information about birth across settings.” The short answer to home birth or hospital birth question is that there is no right answer. “Both options carry risks”, Jessicca is quick to point out. However, some of the risks of a hospital birth are introduced by the fact that most hospital births come with an increased risk of interventions that would not have occurred at home. If you’re considering a home birth, or just researching in general, we’d recommend listening to the episode and watching ‘Why Not Home’ on iTunes, Amazon or Vimeo.
