Homebirth offers an overview of licensed midwives who specialize in homebirth. This gives pregnant women the opportunity to give birth in familiar and calm surroundings, which can contribute to a more relaxed birth experience. Continuous support from a midwife whom the woman knows is an important part of the service, and many find this reassuring.
Research has shown that home birth can be safe for healthy pregnant women, and it has been documented that there can be a reduced risk of complications compared to hospital birth. A more natural birth process without unnecessary interventions is also part of the approach, where subdued lighting and quiet can promote favorable hormones during birth.
