When discussing home births should consider the opinion of four: you most, your child, the child's father and the one who will take birth.

• Why did you choose to give birth at home? Because you are afraid of hospitals, injections and operations? This choice is best done not because of fear of hospitals, but because you believe in yourself.

• Do you have problems with gynecology? Is this your first-born child? While nulliparous can safely give birth at home, greater chance of avoiding unforeseen circumstances in those who already had normal deliveries. If a woman has gynecological problems, it is unwise to give birth at home. But every generation is different, so the problems of previous pregnancies and childbirth may not be repeated. Maybe give birth at home, and after cesarean section.

• If you are in good physical condition to give birth at home, whether you are ready for it mentally? Fear of childbirth can prevent the normal flow of the process.

• Do you feel ready to give birth? (The beginning of birth is the latest test of the answer to this question.) If you choose to give birth at home under the pressure of the spouse, then this is not good. If he doubts, you can try to convince him, but in any case you have to come to a mutual agreement.

• Do you know how to cope with pain and stress? You can not use painkillers at home, as they increase the risk of a variety of problems, especially in the newborn. You should not even think about anesthesia, otherwise you will not mind at home. Freedom of movement, relaxation and an opportunity to use the water for the treatment of pain is more than you replace anesthesia.

• Are you sure that a home birth - this is what youyou need? If you are afraid to give birth at home, it is better not to try. If in doubt, it is better to go to the hospital or family center. But this decision should only be yours, it must be based on the firm belief that birth at home - the best for you. If you drop the fear, trust your body and take delivery, all is well. Do not make a decision immediately and unconditionally. Think about it, »wait» with him for a while. If it does not change in a month or two and if the pregnancy is healthy, do not change their choice.
