Home birth
A birth outside of a hospital or obstetric unit usually attended by a midwife. If you are considering a home birth, you should be carefully monitored by your doctor for signs that you might have a high-risk labour and delivery. You should also consider whether help is available if an emergency arises, particularly as far as the baby is concerned.
