This question has likely ran through your mind at least once already. They both have their pros and cons so let’s get into it. If you are a low risk candidate meaning that your pregnancy hasn’t had much of any hurdles to jump over and baby is growing properly then a home birth is a viable option for you. With a home birth you need to obtain care from a certified midwife and ensure that she in fact will travel to your home for your birth..not all midwives offer home births. It’s also best if she has hospital privileges meaning that if a rare occurrence happens to where you do end up needing more intricate medical interventions then she can provide that for you.
