The closer the birth, the more crazy ideas visit the pregnant woman. One of them is the idea of giving birth at home (home birth). Why, you ask, is she insane? Let's see in more detail.
Quite often, you can hear conversations that home birth is more psychologically comfortable for mom and baby. Nobody argues with this. Of course, at home you will feel calmer and more comfortable. In a word - "at ease". In addition, there will be a spouse nearby who will support you morally. And the child will not be born within the government walls, but at home. A wonderful picture, isn't it?
Now let's look at the other side of the coin.
For 9 months you carried under your heart the man most dear to you, loved him, looked forward to giving birth, with a smile put your hand to your stomach to feel the first tremors … Now you have decided to give birth at home. This is your choice, no one will forcibly send you to the hospital. Just think about what will happen if there are any complications in home birth? What happens if, God forbid, you or your baby need emergency help? Do you realize what a responsibility this is? And how can this end?
Home birth or childbirth in the hospital - it's up to you. I am by no means imposing my opinion. I just want you to think carefully about whether to give birth at home.
Now there are a huge number of maternity hospitals, paid clinics. You can choose both a maternity hospital and a doctor. Don't want to give birth in a regular maternity hospital? Not a problem, you can always sign a contract. You will be blown away dust particles. You can also take your husband to labor if you feel you need his help. Everything will go the way you want. In the end, you pay money for it. But! You will be in a medical facility, where, if something happens, you will be provided with timely assistance.
Yes, there is speculation that earlier they somehow gave birth. No maternity hospitals, no pain relief, no doctors. Dear ones, people used to live in caves. If you are sent there now, how will you feel? What are we talking about. It is not worth comparing then and now. I don't think you want to experiment with your life and the life of a baby.
Don't listen to people you know tell stories of successful home births. These are isolated cases. Or do you want to check? Don't read reviews of home births on the internet. Not everything they write is true. I assure you, half of these stories are written by ordinary copywriters, who, perhaps, have never been to the hospital at all. And you will listen to their opinion.
To give birth at home or in the hospital is up to you. And there is no need to shift this responsibility onto someone. This should be your conscious choice.
I want you to remember only one thing - the life of your child, first of all, is in your hands! And it depends on you what it will be next. Do not experiment, the price of such experiments is too high.
Even if the pregnancy is going well, there is no guarantee that the birth will go smoothly. Make the right choice!
