4 Things To Do If You Want A Homebirth And Your Partner Doesn't By: Maryn Leister | - Quite often, I meet women who are looking into (or dreaming about!) homebirth. Sadly, a lot of these women have unsupportive or uneducated (or scared) partners that want to have the baby in the hospital. Even sadder, I'd say many of these couples wind up with unfulfilling experiences in pregnancy and birth because not only are they in disagreement about a crucial decision, but also because they are letting fear rule them.
A Little Homebirth Question And Answer By: Maryn Leister | - In the last few weeks, I have fielded quite a few questions from a specific "type" of mama--one that has had at least one previous hospital birth and is now starting to investigate homebirth. Within this breed of mama, there are still some differences. I'd say that some are sold on homebirth because of their hospital experiences, and some are not sold (yet?) but merely curious. There was something, something about the hospital experience that left them questioning, or yearning, or who knows w ... Tags:natural childbirth, homebirth

Natural Childbirth And The Hippie Midwife By: Maryn Leister | - In blog posts, videos and everyday conversation, I am often comparing the two seemingly opposite worlds of "medical/hospital birth" and "holistic/midwifery care/natural childbirth/homebirth". I have been focusing, as you may know, on the differences in actual healthcare between the two, as well as reasons to consider one or the other.
There is one huge, underlying point which I am afraid had gone undetected by some readers/watchers of the opinion I have been putting out there. I tot ... Tags:natural childbirth, homebirth
Be Your Own Ovulation Calculator By: Maryn Leister | - With all the technological tools out there to help a woman get pregnant, it seems we have forgotten that our bodies have the necessary tools to be our own ovulation calculators!

But the rewards of understanding your cycle, and in particular, ovulation, can be very rewarding and help you become successful ... Tags:ovulation calculator
" First Delivery. The first time is said to be always difficult and slow. Truth or myth?

Are Homebirths Safe? By: Mike Justin | - Having your child in the home? Who does such things? Wasn't that just back in the western days when doctor's had to deliver babies at home out on the prairie?

The practice of homebirths is usually called midwifery. Although usually not nurses or doctors, the people who are in midwifery are professionally regulated.
Fatherhood Is A Journey - A New Paradigm By: Lome Aseron | - Whether you're expecting your first child or your kids are grown and on their own, being a dad is a new experience. When my wife was pregnant, we decided to have a homebirth. We hired a doula and two midwives. I won't tell you how much it cost.

Why Babies Prefer Natural Childbirth By: Sheryl Lyon | - Childbirth is a life changing event which can be both exhilarating and draining, the greatest experience of one's life or the worst. Childbirth carries tremendous dogma, old wives tales, traditions, and controversy.
Adults have their own rhyme and reason for birth choices. Doctors and midwives make choices for convenience, scheduling, to avoid lawsuits or for profit. You may make decisions based on personal beliefs, research, the influence of others, your own benefit, and qui ... Tags:Childbirth, homebirth, unassisted childbirth, UC, midwife, waterbirth, birth
Homebirth: As Safe As Birth Gets By: Yvonne Lapp Cryns | - Each year in America, approximately 1% of the births occur in home settings. In Illinois in 1992, 1,218 families filed birth certificates that reflected a homebirth. Approximately one-third of the births occurred to Black families. Wisconsin had 591 recorded homebirths for the same year of which 22 were to Black families. 1 It is probable that many more Illinois homebirths actually took place but weren't recorded due to a discriminatory birth registration practice that places the responsibility ...

Home Birth Is A No-brainer By: Yvonne Lapp Cryns | - Home birth with a midwife is a no-brainer -- government statistics since statistical compilation began a century ago show the superiority of non-medical midwife-attended home birth.
