Is home birth safe

If you’ve been wondering if you should have a home birth, read on!

Firstly, we think it’s important to recognize that home birthing isn’t for everyone - and that is totally ok!

Here at New Birth Club, we feel strongly about the fact that you should birth wherever you feel comfortable!

But let’s have a look at why home birthing is so popular. Studies have shown that birthing at home could mean:

  • 40% reduced chance of having an unplanned caesarean

  • 75% reduced risk of infections

  • 55% reduced chance of having an episiotomy

  • It is also worth noting that the majority of studies across a variety of countries have shown no increase in neonatal morbidity and mortality for planned home births

  • Maternal outcomes are consistently better for home birth, including less complications and therefore less interventions

  • Higher satisfaction rates
