A woman might find it more comfortable to be inside her known environment, like mamma birdy in her nest, giving birth to her baby. With the help of a midwife and labor coach, it is possible for anyone to have a home birth.<\/p>
The first birth on the planet and subsequent birth for ages were home births. But that does not imply that this process is a stone-age practice and outdated. People born in the time period before the development of vaccines or labor wards were not all infected with diseases.<\/p>
At present, around 1-3% of births in different regions are at-home deliveries. Pregnancy complications make a hospital delivery preferable but do not nullify the safety of delivering a baby at home. Infections and neonatal stress can happen anywhere and midwifery includes bringing all necessary equipment.<\/p>
In some places, law codes consider having a home birth along with a midwife is not legal. However, having a home birth without any planned assistant is legal.<\/p>
The stories of women giving birth in cabs or bathroom floors are not uncommon. And declaring this illegal is not possible for obvious reasons. But there are many countries that totally sanction having a delivery at home as legal.<\/p>
