Summary
When I started my podcast I never planned on talking about home birth. Not because I don't support women who plan to have a home birth, but because my expertise lies in hospital births and my work focuses on helping women have a beautiful experience there.
However, in light of the COVID-19 crisis we are experiencing, a lot more women are considering home births rather than going into the hospital, which I completely understand. So, I decided to do an episode that covers some basic statistics about home birth, why some women choose it, and what you should consider when deciding where to give birth.
