Re: Homebirth
I guess i'm an outcast here :( .....cuz i was born in my house.
No you are not :D I was also born at home but that's because when I was born long time ago, and that too in a village, there weren't any hospitals in villages. So going to the hospital was a bit difficult, I guess. Now villages have hospitals and health care centers, so it's almost as if you are going to the hospital.
As far as "hospital delivery is always safer than home delivery", each minute, many women are giving birth all over the world in places like the Africa, South America, South Asia, and other poor places and a majority of their children are born without any problems. So being at hospital or home really doesn't matter as much. Yes it's nice to have access to immediate help in case it's needed. If it's gonna go wrong, it can happen in house or at the hospital, no one knows.
