Giving birth is one of the most natural experiences a woman will ever encounter, and the perception that 'hospitals are for sick people' can create a feeling of unease which can in turn slow down labour.

Women choose homebirths to...

  • promote relaxation and calm
  • be in a familiar place where they feel safe
  • reduce stresses that may inhibit labour
  • enjoy individual care from a dedicated midwife

Remember that if you are located within a reasonable distance, you can change your mind at any time during labour and be transferred to your hospital.
