Home Birth With Registered Midwife Safe As Hospital Birth
Posted on Sep 01, 2009 | Comments 1
According to recent Canadian study, giving birth at home in supervision of registered midwife can be as safe as hospital birth for both infant and mom.
In fact, planned home births with registered midwives may have lower rate of pregnancy complications, reports a study in Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Midwives provide round the clock care for women during pregnancy, child birth and postpartum in birthing centers and also at homes of pregnant women.
Dr. Patricia Janssen from the University of British Columbia and her team, says that women planning birth at home experienced reduced risk for all obstetric interventions like postpartum hemorrhage or vaginal tearing. Even the babies were also less likely to need oxygen therapy or resuscitation.

First baby was a natural birth in the hospital and the second birth was at home. Hospitals have a long way to go when it comes for caring for normal healthy deliveries. I couldn’t have asked for better care from my midwife.
