Assurance
of safely giving birth at home
One of the things that women can
choose when having a baby is how they will deliver the baby. What I meant with
how they deliver is whether they deliver a baby in the hospital or at their own
homes. Most women think that homebirth is not a safe method to give birth that
is why they do not realize that they have a choice on how to deliver their
babies.But there are of course critics who are wary of this method. But
with careful research they can see there is a lot of evidence to show that it
is.
There are definitely critics who do
not believe in the safety of a homebirth. From my observations from my
practice as aSan Diego midwife I have found it to be absolutely safe. From the
300 homebirths I have assisted in the dangers are just the same as if you were
to deliver in a hospital.The risks is not minimized whether you give birth at a
hospital or at your homes. But it also doesn’t raise those risks either.
So what would be the main threat of
undergoing a procedure like this? Well for one people worry if some
complications occur. They say the people who administer the homebirth
usually aren’t nurses. Well as ahomebirth midwife in San Dieg we do know
medical procedures.All the necessary equipments for the common complications of
a chilbirth are always with us.A doctor is obviously needed whenever any
serious complications arise from gving birth at home. But that isn’t any
different then in a hospital.
Homebirths are only recommended for
women who have pregnancies that are low in risk.If it is known that a woman has
possible complications while giving birth then the midwife would not recommend
this method if she is good. This is standard procedure for allSan Diego
licensed midwife. Of course they will be limited in the medical
procedures they can do.That the reason why they make sure that all high risk
pregnancies be delivered in a hospital.
It will be very hard to convince
those people who are not keen on undergoing this method. But for those
women who see this as an alternative they should understand it is safe.
