7 Reasons Why People Should Not Have Homebirths

There are many reasons why a home birth may not be ideal for you

. But are these reasons valid?

Let us look at some of these reasons:

" First Delivery. The first time is said to be always difficult and slow. Truth or myth? Some women take pregnancy in their stride however some do need more support, where the security of a doctor is required. At any rate, there's no scientific evidence that supports any objection to home births for first-time moms.

" Maternal Age. People would say you're too young or you're too old for home birth. But what is the right age for home birth? No one can say. It's something to do more with health status rather than age. I have helped women with Homebirths ranging from 16 all the way to 40.

" Previous Delivery Complications. Those who had previous complications have a good reason to be wary of giving birth away from the hospital. However, not all complications would necessarily occur the next time around. Assisted delivery (e.g. forceps delivery) and episiotomy (tear) are less common in home births, according to Homebirth UK. There are life threatening complications, however, like preeclampsia and postpartum bleeding that may warrant more medical monitoring than what a home birth can provide.

" Underlying Medical Conditions. Women with underlying condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity are usually advised against home birth.

" Premature Labor. Premature delivery is usually unplanned but does not preclude home delivery if pregnancy has reached the 37th week. Very premature delivery, however, requires immediate medical attention and being close to a neonatal intensive care unit is advisable. This was foreseen in my case and I was glad of my decision to deliver in a hospital for my first child.

" Overdue Delivery. Many women who are overdue are referred to a hospital to induce labor. Health officials are divided when induction becomes a must and can range from 6 days to 2 weeks after the due date. Midwives, however, can also induce labor at home.

" Baby Problems. If it is known beforehand that the baby might have some health or genetic problems, a hospital birth is usually recommended. Hope the above has cleared up some of your reservations and given you an insight into Homebirths.
