There’s No Place Like Home... The idea of being comfortable during childbirth may strike many mothers who have delivered in the hospital as impossible. They may remember being confined to a hospital bed, denied food and water, separated from their other children, supportive family members and friends, enduring frequent internal examinations and vital sign checks, being transferred from one room to another at the peak of labor's intensity and having their legs in stirrups. In her own home a laboring woman has "the home court advantage." She can move about freely, wear what clothing she chooses, sip on energizing juices or, relax in a warm tub of water, have her feet rubbed by loving friends and try different birthing positions. After the birth, the baby is never taken from its mother's side. The emotional bonding that takes place in the moments after birth between mother and child and between the baby and the entire family promotes well being, encourages breastfeeding and speeds recovery of the mother. A home birth can profoundly enhance a woman’s birth experience; encouraging the natural birth process. By having a familiar, comfortable environment and loving, supportive people present, childbirth becomes a profound and rewarding experience.
