Would you ever consider giving birth at home, unassisted by a Doctor or Midwife?

While I had 3 of my babies at home, I had a Midwife present. My Midwives were wonderful and I’m so glad I had them there to assist me both during my labors and after the birth. I found their presence deeply comforting. To be fair, my 4th child almost arrived before the Midwife did - only because there was a fire at the entrance to my neighborhood and I waited so long before calling her!

Today on my podcast, I talked with a mother of 6 and author of the book Unassisted Homebirth: An Act of Love. Learn more about why couples might choose unassisted home birth. It may not be an option you choose to pursue, but it may also cause you to question some of your own ideas about birth.
