Author: Welcome back!
Homebirth should be one of the first options you would think of when you become pregnant. You eat at home, sleep at home and you’re even intimate at home. Why not then have your child’s birth at home? Home sweet home!
Homebirth Tip 1 - Homebirths can be safer for the birthing mother and baby. The BBC news reported about a large Dutch study of over 530,000 births that has found that for low-risk women a home birth presents no more danger than a hospital delivery. Plus you have fewer germs at home, no flesh eating bacteria and a sense of safety because you’re safe at home.
Homebirth Tip 2 - No beeping monitors and you don’t have to put up with all those interrupters (CNM’s, OB’s, nurses). Plus the best of all… no drugs at your birth. Everything you need and care about is right there. You can have control of the whole environment at home, which means if you want to dim all the lights or open a window, you can just do it. Have the birth you want, it’s your magical event and you can make it as sacred as you need. What better setting could there be but at home?
Homebirth Tip 3 - You can make as much noise as you need and want at your homebirth and no one can shush you at all while getting into “Labor Land.” That’s when you are zoning in on the labor and finding your rhythms. You are going through a very intense and mystical time and what you really need from your birth allies is their understanding of that fact.
Homebirth Tip 4 - This is one of the best tips, You can eat when and what you want! That’s right! No more meals of ice chips. Eating gives you the energy to go through the journey of childbirth! Little side note here… when you want to get people under your control one way to do that is deprive them of food and make them so dependent on you that they will willingly give you control over them!
Remember it ’s your birth, you should own it!
Homebirth Tip 5 - You can wear whatever you want or nothing at all. You don’t have to worry about strangers walking in on you. You can use your bathtub or a little pool to labor and birth in if you feel like it. It’s your home — use it as you see fit.
Homebirth Tip 6 - You can relax and sleep when you want without interruptions. It could be a long day or night, so get as much rest and relaxation as possible during the slow times.
Homebirth Tip 7 - You can breastfeed the wee little one on demand! You don’t have to wait for the baby to come back from the nursery and you have no schedule. When the baby is hungry, feed him!
Homebirth is also fun. Your children should and can be a part of the normal birth experience. The whole family can cut the umbilical cord when you are good and ready. Giving birth at home is an empowering event for all that are a part of it. We can all trust in birth. Homebirths should become an organic part of our lives.
