As a doula, one of the most common scenarios I see with clients, is that they’re curious about home birth and the benefits of midwifery care, but concerned about taking any chance of something going wrong at home. Here, licensed midwife Blyss Young explains the benefits of home birth and relative risks of birthing at home vs. in a hospital setting, as well as what midwives do to manage common complications at home. You’ll also learn how frequently transport to the hospital is needed and why, and what you can expect if you’re planning to birth at home!
