home births
Bedroom labor option
Home births are childbirths that take place in the mother's residence rather than a hospital or birthing center.
Often attended by midwives, home births appeal to those seeking a more natural, less medicalized experience: She planned a home birth with a certified nurse-midwife.
The practice remains controversial in mainstream medicine, with debates over safety versus autonomy.
