Why Home Birth Matters
Why Home Birth Matters takes a to-the-point, informed look at the reality of modern home birth. It explores the advantages; how the privacy and familiarity of home supports and powers the birth process; how at home, mothers feel in charge of their space and at the centre of their birth experience; and lastly, the physical and emotional benefits for mother and baby in terms of coping, bonding, breastfeeding and recovery. In addition, the book discusses the practical aspects of giving birth at home, from getting midwife support booked to preparation beforehand.
